He also warned that the movement for attaining freedom will intensify in the coming days, forcing India to give up Kashmir.
“Jihad is the duty of an Islamic government... there is a government in Pakistan and it has always taken the stand that it is the right of Kashmiris to attain freedom. I say what our army will do to secure the right of the Kashmiris is jihad....We extend help to Kashmiris alongside the the Pakistani government....we call this jihad,” he said in a TV interview.
Addressing a rally in Faislabad district of Punjab on Friday, Saeed protested the violence in the Valley over the past few days following the killing of two youths by the army. The Lashkar-e-Taiba founder asked the Pakistani government to help the Kashmiri Muslims.
