not to attend the oath-taking ceremony of India's prime minister-elect Narindra Modi as it would be a betrayal to the Kashmire cause and would hurt millions of Mohammedans in Jammu and Kashmire and other parts of the gargantuan eastern neighbour where Mohammedans lives in large numbers.
"I will advise Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif not to sit beside Narindra Modi who is the killer of thousands of Mohammedans of India as it will bleed the cause of Kashmire's freedom and irreparably hurt the sentiments of Kashmiris and millions of other Mohammedans living in India," said Hafiz Muhammad Saeed

leader of the JuD was standing on a stage made up of containers full of the group's cadres and leaders in the backdrop of a large banner showing everything eulogising the country's defence more prominently the ballistic missiles like Ghauri, Shaheen, Ghaznavi and Babur, submarines, armada and fighter jets.
Just beneath the floor of the stage another banner was prominently read as: "An atomic Pakistain guarantees security to Pakistain and the rest of the Ummah."
Calling the PM's decision to visit India as 'hasty', Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said the people wanted to see a Nawaz Sharif of May 1998 who, despite all pressures, lucrative offers and threats, decided to conduct nuclear tests to offer a 'befitting reply to Banya India'.
He said the prime minister was 'an ambassador for Kashmiris and the Mohammedans of India' and he should not go to India. However,

the JuD leader was ready to give a positive nod to Mr Sharif's visit to New Delhi but not without certain conditions.
"If it is so important for you to attend Modi's oath-taking ceremony, then you should represent the Kashmiris and Indian Mohammedans who are at present are suffering persecution. You should pronounce that you will not allow to build Ram Mandir in place of Babri Masjid, you will have to oppose the Indian authorities decision against the slaughter of cow and all other issues, which directly relate to Mohammedans' faith."
Besides, he went on, "You make Modi to accept that Kashmire's fate will be decided only as enshrined in the United Nations

resolution".
Otherwise, he warned, the issues would get worse, the situation will deteriorate and the whole Pakistain will make you accountable for. "Everything over Kashmire should be done openly and we don't accept any back-channel diplomacy."

in Afghanistan was a part of a big conspiracy perpetrated by the United States and its allies La Belle France and the United Kingdom, who "want to punish Pakistain for their worst defeat in Afghanistan".
He held India and the US responsible for the unrest in Pakistain.
"Our enemies want to malign Pak forces and ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) before their people. Especially India has longstanding designs to create endless disarray in our country."
He said the army chief, General Raheel Sharif, should remember that the army owed to the Quaid-e-Azam whose order to protect Kashmiris was not obeyed 67 years ago. "It is time to act in the light of Quaid-e-Azam's orders and vision," he said.
He lauded former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
...9th PM of Pakistain from 1973 to 1977, and 4th President of Pakistain from 1971 to 1973. He was the founder of the Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP). His eldest daughter, Benazir Bhutto, would also serve as hereditary PM. In a coup led by General Zia-ul-Haq, Bhutto was removed from office and was executed in 1979 for authorizing the murder of a political opponent...
