Jamaat Ud Daawa Chief: India Behind Mumbai Attacks


Dr. Jassim Taqui | Pakistan Observer
Islamabad: Speaking his mind after a long period of silence, Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed disclosed that JuD was falsely implicated in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Saeed, the founder of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) blamed India for masterminding the attack in a bid to malign Pakistan and justify military action against it. He went on saying, that there was a secret agreement between India and Israel to “destroy Pakistan’s nuclear assets”.
Saeed also criticized the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and said it had set up offices across Pakistan. 

“The CIA had established offices in every city of Pakistan from where they send reports to the US,” he said.


During the past week, Saeed visited Bahawalpur and Multan districts of Punjab to address public meetings and meet JuD activists.

Speaking at “Defence of Pakistan” convention in Multan, Saeed said a time would come when only the religious parties would come forward to save Pakistan.

According to WikiLeaks, President Asif Ali Zardari allegedly told the visiting US Senator John Kerry that he suspected Indian involvement in the Mumbai attacks. Zardari linked the attack with Indian huge military spending, describing increasing Indian military spending by 30 percent as a direct threat to Pakistan.

When Kerry pointed out the Chinese threat to India, Zardari gave apt explanation. He said, “The Indians tanks cannot operate in the Chinese border region. They can only be intended for an attack on Pakistan.” India has 4600 tanks, he explained, while Pakistan has only 2600. “Capability creates a fear,” he added.
