Did Hafiz Saeed plan Sheikh Hasina’s removal from power in Bangladesh? Dreaded terrorist makes shocking claims, says, we have avenged…

New Delhi: In a major revelation, some leaders of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) have claimed that the organisation played a role in the massive anti-government protests in Bangladesh last year, which led to the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) is the banned organization led by Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed. JuD leader Saifullah Kasuri and UN-designated terrorist Mujammil Hashmi made these claims during inflammatory speeches earlier this week.

“I was four years old when Pakistan was divided in 1971. At that time, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had declared that she had drowned the two-nation theory in the Bay of Bengal. On May 10, I… we have avenged 1971,” Saifullah Kasuri said while addressing his supporters in Allahabad, located about 400 kilometers from Lahore.

Indian Strikes Killed Many Terrorists

While addressing the people, Kasuri admitted that the body of one of his associates, Mudassir, was blown to pieces in an Indian airstrike on May 7 at Muridke (the JuD/LeT headquarters).  Kasuri said, “I was not granted permission to attend his funeral. I cried a lot on the day of his funeral.”

It is important to note that he did not clarify who had stopped him from attending Mudassir’s funeral. On the other hand, senior military, police, and administrative officials from Pakistan’s Punjab province were among those who attended the funerals of Mudassir and two other JuD members, and photos of the event have surfaced.

Spewing Venom on Jihad

Kasuri said, “When the Pahalgam incident happened, I was meeting people in my area. India made me the mastermind of this attack. India made my city, Kasur, famous across the world.” He added, “We are preparing the next generation for jihad… we are not afraid of death.” Hashmi, in a speech delivered a few days ago in Gujranwala, around 80 kilometers from Lahore, mentioned the Indian leadership and claimed, “We defeated you in Bangladesh last year…”
