JuD to scale up its Kashmir campaign (IANS Exclusive)

New Delhi, Nov 26 : The dreaded ISIs C Wing uses the Hafiz Muhammad Saeed controlled Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD)/Lashkar-e Taiba (LeT) to run point on Kashmir.
The deadly prong has been dialling up on Kashmir for years and was at the vanguard of the planning of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks as well. Obsessed with the freedom of Kashmir, Saeed, who has scofflaw status in Pakistan despite a 10 million dollar bounty on his head, wants to rub India’s nose in the trough needs to be given a kick to the trundle. Given that he operates with complete freedom and impunity in Pakistan, with the ISI providing him protection, it is virtually impossible to draw a bead on him. For Indian intelligence agencies, he remains the number one target.
On Thursday, the JuD planned an event at 11 a.m. at the Main Bazar in Sahiwal to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the Mumbai attacks. It instructed its cadres to organise special prayers inside all LeT/JuD mosques to pay their respects to the buddy ‘fidayeen’ who carried out the Mumbai attacks. The JuD, at the behest of ISI, has also floated the ‘JK United Youth Movement’ (JKYM) as a political forum to provide overt support to separatist activities in J&K.
Indian intelligence, which has been tracking the key perpetrators of 26/11, has prepared an updated top secret dossier on them which has been accessed by IANS: Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, chief operational commander/head of LeT’s jihad wing visited LeT/JuD chief Hafiz Saeed at his residence at Johar Town in Lahore in the last week of October, 2020. The meeting was in connection with collection of funds for jihad by LeT/JuD.
A meeting of JuD functionaries was held at Markaz Aqsa, Gujranwala, on November 13, 2020. About 70 businessmen from Gujranwala attended the meeting which was called by Muzammil Iqbal Hashmi, JuD Amir, Gujranwala. Similar meetings have also been scheduled at other places in the Punjab province.
