KARACHI: Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed said on Monday that the current crisis in the country was part of an Indian conspiracy to divert attention of the world from its oppression in held Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference at the Markaz-i-Taqwa, the Karachi headquarters of the party, he said the political crisis, violent protests and the rulers’ aggressive response to anti-government protests were all affecting the Kashmir cause.
“If you go through analytically, in all that panic and crisis-like situation, the Kashmir issue has disappeared from the national scene,” he added.
“For over four months Indian forces have been killing people in Kashmir and violating all human rights in the held valley,” he said and regretted that it seemed the people of Pakistan had forgotten the plight of Kashmiris.
He urged ruling and opposition parties to resolve their issues through talks and avoid becoming tools of international forces which wanted them to ignite a crisis in Pakistan.
“Just a few days after the Quetta attack, which has left our scores of policemen dead, the country has plunged into a political crisis.”
Hafiz Saeed claimed that the Indian agency RAW was behind the political crisis in the country so that Pakistan could not raise the Kashmir issue.
