Kashmiri militants plan ‘surgical strike’ in India:LeT founder

Jammat-ud-Dawah chief and Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has threatened India with a “surgical strike” by Kashmiri militants in Jammu and Kashmir that will long be remembered.

“(Prime Minister Narendra) Modi had done what he had to. Now it is the turn of Mujahideen to carry out a surgical strike in Kashmir,” Saeed threatened while addressing a rally on Sunday in Mirpur, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

“The surgical strike Mujahideen are going to carry out will long be remembered. Such a strike will not be like that of India’s one which is not even acknowledged by the world,” Saeed, the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, said in an aggressive tone. 

Saeed, the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba who carries a USD 10-million bounty on his head, last week criticised the Nawaz Sharif government for giving a “cool” response to India over alleged atrocities in Kashmir, saying people in the Valley need Pakistan’s “full practical support”.
