Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Jawad criticised senior journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik here on Tuesday over his statement to the Pakistani media about making Kashmir an independent country.
"Kashmir resides in our heart, how can somebody talk about separating it," said Jawwad.
Vaidik has been facing criticism from the opposition over his meeting with Saeed on July 2 in Lahore, Pakistan, after his pictures with the Pakistani Islamist leader was seen in social media.
Vaidik has openly accepted that he had met Hafiz Saeed and said that he is ready to share all records of his meetings in Pakistan.
Not only the meeting with Hafiz Saeed, but his statement in Pakistan on Kashmir has fuelled criticism. However, he later clarified to ANI that he meant about freedom for the people of Kashmir and not 'freedom for Kashmir'.
