In a major embarrassment to Pakistan, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed on Wednesday claimed that a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant was leading the processions following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter in Srinagar.

"Have you seen the pictures of procession when lakhs of Kashmiris came to the streets? Did you see a man who was being carried on shoulders by the crowd? Do you know the man who was leading the procession? He is an 'ameer' of Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT)," Hafiz Saeed said.

Hafiz's statements come at a time when Pakistan is trying hard to gain solidarity with the people over the unrest in Kashmir.

The latest remarks from the terror icon not only negates Pakistan's position on Kashmir protests, it also exposes the hypocrisy of its foreign ministry at an international level. It confirms the involvement of Pakistan-based militant groups in anti-India protests in Kashmir.

"Several people from Faisalabad went to Kashmir, many of them even sacrificed their lives," Hafiz Saeed said.

Reiterating Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's speech, he said, "Pakistan is incomplete without Kashmir and by God's grace, Kashmir will become a part of it someday".

"One day the world would witness India splitting into pieces," he added.

Upping his ante against the Indian media, Saeed expressed his anger over visa denial to a group of Pakistani doctors who wanted to visit Kashmir.

"The media keeps showing my pictures on TV while screaming Bombay, they will gain nothing by doing so," he said, referring to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Hafiz Saeed's latest disclosure brings light to the ongoing debate over the use of force against protesters in Kashmir. While few civil right groups have questioned the imposition of restrictions in the Valley.

India has always maintained the role of Pakistan in the protests and the statements by the JuD chief only validates India's position on Kashmir.
