New Delh, India: In a statement which would certain annoy India, the Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit on Monday said that Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief was a Pakistani citizen who was “free to roam around” in the country.
While responding to a media query on reports that Hafiz Saeed was roaming around freely in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Abdul Basit said: “Hafiz Saeed is a Pakistani national, he is free to roam around. What’s the problem?”
India accuses Hafiz Saeed for planning 26/11 Mumbai attacks in which 164 people were killed and at least 308 were injured.
Addressing a press conference at Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Sept. 13, JuD chief Hafiz Saeed held India responsible and said that the neighbouring country, under a conspiracy, released too much water into Pakistani rivers without adequate precautionary warnings.
Reports in Pakistan media says: Hafiz Saeed severely criticised India for violating the Indus Water Treaty and constructing world’s third largest Baglihar Dam on the Indus River.
“Monsoon seasons are natural but recent floods in last few years in Pakistan were result of a conspiracy by the hostile neighbouring country. India is releasing sudden water in huge quantity under a conspiracy to destabilise Pakistani economy,” he remarked.
He alleged that India was using water as a weapon of war.
