By ANISunday, February 28, 2010
ISLAMABAD - Jamat ud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed on Sunday said Pakistan will have to “fight a war at all cost” if India is not prepared to hold talks.
In an interview given to a Pakistan news channel, Saeed said: India wants war… If India is not prepared to hold talks, Pakistan will have to fight a war at all costs.”
Commenting over India’s accusations about his (Saeed) involvement in 26/11 Mumbai attack, Saeed said: “Let India prove it in any court, I will be ready to accept everything.”
Saying the people should go to Kashmir for ‘jehad’ against India, Saeed also criticized the Pakistan Government calling it as “coward.”
Saeed, was placed under house arrest in Lahore in December 2008 after the JuD was declared a terrorist group by the UN Security Council in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks.
He was freed after about six months on the orders of the Lahore High Court.
The Pakistan Government challenged his release in the Supreme Court, but no hearing has been held in the matter for various reasons. (ANI)
