Kulbhushan Jadhav is a terrorist, says Hafiz Saeed in anti-India rant after release

NEW DELHI: There cannot be peace in Pakistan if 'terrorists like Kulbhushan Jadav' continue to enter the country, the chief of JuD terror group, Hafiz Saeed said on Friday. 

The wanted terrorist resorted to anti-India diatribe soon after his release from house arrest and that showed how much he despised New Delhi for exerting pressure that led to his almost a year-long detention. 

"Peace cannot be established in Pakistan if terrorists such as Kulbhushan Jadhav continue to enter the country," Saeed said.

Indian national Kulbhushan Jadav has been jailed in Pakistan on charges of espionage and terrorism.

Addressing a sermon at Lahore's Jamia Masjid Al Qadsia a day after his release on Friday, Saeed said he is "fighting for the freedom of Pakistan and Kashmir".

He claimed that he was placed under house arrest for fighting for the rights of Kashmiris and this has been done at the behest of “external pressure”.

"If the leaders of the Pakistan start making their own decisions, they will no longer face external pressure," the Mumbai attack mastermind said.
