Lashkar-e-Toiba founder set free, Pakistan Prime Minister invokes Kashmir word again
Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, who founded the Lashkar-e-Toiba which carried out the Mumbai terror attacks, was today set free by the Lahore High Court, triggering an angry response from India which accused Pakistan of not being serious about fighting terror.
Hours later, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, in a strident anti-India statement, asked “occupying forces” in Jammu and Kashmir to stop “repression”. He said the “indigenous uprising” in J&K ignited by the Amarnath shrine issue last year had added “another sad chapter to the sufferings of the Kashmiri people.”
