Mumbai mastermind’s controversial video message before Eid

Today is Eid and the Muslim community is celebrating the occasion. But not so in Jammu Kashmir where the firing and the stone pelting has once again resumed.

Can we say that the 26/11 Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed’s controversial video is the reason behind the fresh attacks?

Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed has reportedly delivered a provocative message on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr, instigating the youth of Jammu and Kashmir for violence in the region. He is also heard urging Palestinians to take on Israel in the same manner.

Saeed, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is planning to participate in mainstream Pakistani politics through the Milli Muslim League (MML), a political party linked to him.

The wanted terrorist purportedly blamed India and the Indian government for the political situation in Kashmir and praised the stone-pelters for their violent actions against personnel of security forces in the Valley.

Saeed’s message is being seen as an attempt to create a political agenda for the MML, an offshoot of the banned JuD.

The election commission of Pakistan has been repeatedly rejecting the registration of MML, which would enable it to contest the general elections on 25 July. On Wednesday, the commission rejected MML’s application a second time citing the observations of Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior over the party’s links with Hafiz Saeed.

The US has designated MML as a foreign terrorist organisation.

But according to Express Tribune, around 200 candidates backed by the MML will contest under the banner of the Allah-o-Akbar Tehreek (AAT), which is listed at number 10 in the election commission’s list of approved parties.

JuD is the front organisation for the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans.

The US Department of the Treasury has designated Saeed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and the US, since 2012, has offered a $10 million reward for information that brings Saeed to justice.

Here’s all that he said in the video:

“As preparations are being made for Eid Ul Adha, we send out greetings to Muslims around the world. We give out special greetings and applause to Kashmiri people for their glorious struggle that has reached unprecedented heights due to their sacrifices”

“At a time when people around the world will sacrifice animals on Eid, the people of Kashmir sacrificed their beloved sons. Who wouldn’t praise Kashmiri people, who despite losing eyes, facing injuries saw their women and men together in the freedom movement? Nothing short of freedom is acceptable to the Kashmiri people, they are not ready for any compromise, whatsoever. They are rendering all kinds of sacrifices for Freedom today”

“I would like to congratulate honourable Syed Ali Geelani, Mir Waiz Umar Farooq, Yaseen Malik, Shabir Shah, Apa Aasiya Andrabi, Musarrat Alam Butt, Mushtaq ul Islam and all those leaders who are either in jails or leading from the front. You deserve greetings on this occasion of Eid and also for uniting people of Kashmir, who are standing behind all of you. This unity has defeated India. Their Intellectuals and military is speechless. May Allah grant success to your leadership.”

“We applaud the people of Kashmir; on the way they have come out. Doctors came out, not only as their professional duty but by being part of the movement.”

“Ambulance drivers have shown immense courage to help victims, by risking their own lives. Traders, businessmen have taken huge losses but did not give up on the movement and its successes. Families of martyrs have remained patient and steadfast.”

“They have taken their movement to new heights. On one hand, Indian atrocities are at highest levels, on the other Kashmiri resistance is also relentless. Therefore, at this moment we congratulate Kashmiri people. Especially, the collective Hurriyat leadership deserves respect for uniting Kashmiri people.”

“I request all Kashmiri people to stand behind Hurriyat leadership, May Allah bestow success at the hands of this leadership. Behold, this is a time for complete unity in ranks, slightest of difference can cause an immense loss for the movement. There are grave conspiracies being hatched against this much-awaited unity. I request all Kashmiris to focus and show complete unity and solidarity towards the cause. You have chosen the path of sacrifices, and to make them result oriented, put your full force into it.”

“We applaud the people of Kashmir; on the way they have come out. Doctors came out, not only as their professional duty but by being part of the movement.”

“Sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs are a living example for all nations. Especially, Burhan Wani’s martyrdom awakened the whole nation and made them steadfast. Allah chooses people and gives them special acceptance, I feel Burhan is surely among them. I consider them the martyrs of Ghazwa-e-Hind. The ones who have received glad tidings from Prophet Muhammad. Their sacrifices will never go in vain, God willing.”

“All segments of society, traders, transporters, intellectuals everyone deserves applause and respect for taking the movement where it deserves to be after such huge sacrifices. This movement must go on despite hardships. Those of our brothers, who are languishing in jail such as Dr Qasim Faktu, Dr Taqir, Muhammad Shafi Sariati, Ghulam Qadir Butt have a huge role in the movement after facing painful and prolonged detentions. They have proven once again that every Kashmiri is prepared to shed the last drop of their blood till Freedom and victory are achieved.”

“Those in jails have played their role, those who are free are leading from the front in the movement the way it deserves. Reality is that Kashmiri people have already won freedom, their passion is free, their thoughts are free. Slaves are those, who are under the influence of disbelievers and celebrating Eid as a mere custom. While in reality, it is the Kashmiri people who deserve greetings of Eid in its true sense. The day is near when Kashmiris will get their true Freedom. The time when Kashmiris will set an example in front of enslaved people.”

“This is what Eid is, throughout the Muslim world, ‘Eid’ in its true sense is of triumphed Kashmiri brothers. Those people in Pakistan who are together with Kashmiris.”
