Terror mastermind Hafiz-Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) has reiterated his desire to launch a jihad or holy war against India from Pakistani soil.

Addressing a gathering of over 4,000 people during 'Friday sermon' in Rawalpindi recently, Maulana Abdul Rahman, Amir of the JuD, said Pakistan being an Islamic state is a centre of jihad loving people who would love to launch a jihad against India.

He said, "Pakistan is a centre of preparation of battle against India under 'Ghazwa-e-Hind'. Also, it is a centre of jihad loving people. Why we should not foil the conspiracies of infidels being hatched against Islam. Infidels only want liberalism and openness to be prevailing in Pakistan."

"But now lovers of Pakistan will certainly rise and foil their all conspiracies. We will sacrifice our lives but will not allow infidels to become successful in their conspiracies", said Rahman in his address.

The JuD Amir also fuel venom against the United States and Israel.

Rahman said, Trump, Modi and Israel are issuing threats against Muslims. They are hatching propaganda against Muslims by terming them fundamentalists, extremists and terrorists. They (U.S.) are the biggest terrorists. They had dropped atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed crores of people."

Pakistan claims to have put a ban on activities of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, but they openly sends threat to India. Rahman said, 'A group of our army will start battle against India and Allah almighty with his blessing had saved that group from fire of hell."

He added, "The caravan of Islam would convert whole India into Pakistan. No hurdle will be able to stop this carvan. Allah is the protector of this caravan."

JuD chief and founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hafiz Saeed, is accused of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The U.S. has offered a USD 10 million bounty for him.

However, Pakistan continues to use Saeed and his organization as a proxy against India.
