India, US planning attacks on Islamists here: JuD
The Newspaper's Staff Reporter

October 20, 2014
LAHORE: India with the connivance of the US is aspiring to carry out surgical strikes against Islamists in Pakistan, Jamaatud Dawa Emir Hafiz Saeed alleged on Sunday.
“A plan regarding surgical strikes against Islamists in Pakistan was finalised in the recent meeting between US President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendera Modi after which India started violating Pakistan’s territorial integrity,” a press release quoted Saeed as telling his party’s central, zonal and district leadership on Sunday.
He urged the government to stop promoting trade ties with New Delhi arguing that better relations with India were impossible until resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

JuD was listed as a terrorist organization by UN isint it? When Pakistan wants the implementation of UN resolution in half measures that suits their convenience, why is the government not ready to acknowledge the same UN when it comes to JuD? Hafeez Saeed is roaming Scot free within Pakistan spewing venom with blood on his hands from the hundreds of innocent civilians, women and children massacred on 26/11 in Mumbai. Hypocrisy don't you think?

@sidhu You are partially right. Exclude Iranian President and UN chief (as he's just a puppet). Rest is all part of 4th generation warfare that Pakistan understands too well. The re-drawing of the whole middle-east map is no coincidence. If liberation or democracy was the only objective behind this then the first country to be divided into pieces is India, where there are more than 200 insurgencies going on at the moment and to divert attention of the people, they sponsor terrorism inside Pakistan via BLA and TTP.

No, Obama would not connive with Modi, because India will get a thrashing by Pakistan and may lead to a nuclear war, and Obama knows that. But no trade with India till Kashmir is resolved, yes, that is a very good idea.

Iranian guards entered Pakistani border following such people.

Pakistan should reinvent its foreign policy to come out of oblivion and shun such elements.

He is an real leader of pakistan and he is world class intellectual. Its unfortunate to see pakistan has not recognized this immensly valuable asset and his contribution in country's and world peace. Pakistan should nominate him for Nobel peace prize. With passing time his wisdom about Islam, foreign affairs, conspiracys, prophices, milatary & global trade strategis keeps on growing. Pakistanis are wasting time on Nawaz S, IK and AQ they should make him PM and pakistan will be No 1 in next few months. People from US and Europe will line up for visas for pakistan and saudis and gulfians will work as labourer in pakistan. He is one stop solution for all pakistan problems. He is next living legend for pakistan you should print currency with his photographs and build a city to commemorate his continuous contribution in welfare and development of pakistan.

I saw Hafiz Saeed on one of the Pakistani news shows recently which also had Kuldeep Nair on as well. Saeed was openly saying that India and Pakistan should resolve the Kashmir issue peacefully and not by war. Although he did say that India was to blame for not fulfilling the UN resolution for plebiscite which Nehru was in favour of. India does not like Hafiz Saeed and wants Pakistan to put him in jail based on evidence that does not have any legs in a court of law. He makes inflammatory speeches but so do plenty of Shiv Sena and RSS backed politicians in India.

@Sunil BJP, RSS, VHP,Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal and others are causing more trouble than he can ever do. he is not powerful but the Hindutva brigade rule India. This is why there will never be peace as Indians do not in reality want it. Indians sometimes pretend to make pleasant comments here, but vote Hindutva which shows their true intentions, as the famous saying goes Muh peh ram ram, aur bagal me Chura.
