"Burhan Wani was
martyred," said Hafiz Saeed.

of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani who was killed in an encounter, Mumbai attack

His
statement that LeT 'Ameer' Abu Dujana was leading Wani's funeral procession
earlier this month after the young Hizb commander was killed in an encounter
with security forces in Kashmir was made at a rally in Faisalabad, about 185 km
from Lahore.
Saeed,
designated a terrorist by the United States with a USD 10 million bounty on his
head, heads the Jamaat-ud-Dawa( JuD), which is seen as a front group for the
outlawed LeT. He also claimed that Kashmiri separatist leader Asiya Andrabi
called him over phone and sought help.
"Asiya
Andrabi called me over phone and asked, 'where are my Pakistani brothers? We
are in trouble'," Saeed said.
"I told
my Pakistani brothers to respond to her call. It was immediately decided to
send a group to Kashmir and within three days all preparations were done.
Several people from Faisalabad went to Kashmir," he said.
Saeed, who
travels freely and gives speeches inciting people to attack Western and Indian
interests, had warned more violence in Kashmir in a recent interview. The LeT
was behind the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and was banned in Pakistan in 2015.
