Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed has reiterated its support for Kashmiris and urged India to leave it amid the chanting slogans of jihad. He was addressing a rally in Lahore to mark Kashmir Solidarity Day.
Hafeex Saeed expressed support for all Kashmiri leaders and prayed to God to protect and unite them. He was applauded by supporters amid chants of 'al-jihad, al-jihad'.
He said that India's army of 800,000 will lose and Kashmiris will get independence.
It is noted that Pakistan observed Kashmir Solidarity Day to denounce Indian rule in the disputed Himalayan region claimed in whole by both countries.
The day had been observed in Pakistan since 1990 to pay homage to Kashmiris and highlight the plight for their birth right to self-determination, promised to them by the international community under the resolutions of United Nations Security Council.
The day was observed as a public holiday. A minute of silence was observed throughout Pakistan at 10am, while rallies, processions, seminars and photo exhibitions were also arranged by Pakistani missions abroad.
