I am lashkar, saeed’s biggest supporter : Musharraf
November 29, 2017
Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has admitted he is the biggest supporter of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and that he is also “liked” by the militant group and the Jamaat-ud-dawa (JuD).
“I am the biggest supporter of LeT and I know they like me and JuD also likes me,” ANI quoted Musharraf telling Pakistan’s ARY News.
When asked if he’s similarly appreciative of LeT’s founder and 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed, the former president said Saeed “is involved in Kashmir” and he “supports” that involvement
Musharraf’s comment come just days after the release of Hafiz Saeed from house arrest. Only yesterday, the LeT chief moved the United Nations seeking removal of his name from the list of designated terrorists. In his petition, Saeed contended that there is no evidence to back the allegation against him. Saeed, who carries a $10 million bounty on his head, hired a Lahore-based law firm to file the plea on his behalf.(Agencies)
