Obama visit a ploy against Pak, China: Saeed

Banned Jammat-ud-Dawa chief and alleged mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks Hafiz Muhammad Saeed on Thursday said that United States President Barack Obama's maiden visit to India was part of a conspiracy against Pakistan and China, reported the Express Tribune.

Saeed articulated his opinion while addressing a seminar organised by the Lahore High Court Bar Association on Thursday.

Saeed said that no international organisation was working on the behalf of Muslims, which had led to coercion in Kashmir.

Pakistani agencies have become slaves of Americans, Saeed added.

He said US always imposed war on Muslims and 'no international organisation had the courage to resist.' He said that the Pakistani government must take all parties in confidence before taking any decision about Kashmir.

Saeed 'noted' that according to United Nations resolutions, "Kashmir was a disputed area that had been occupied by India."

Jamaat-i-Islami chief Syed Munawar Hassan, who was also present on the occasion, said that the US always supported the Indian point of view on Kashmir and could not be an impartial arbitrator.

Hassan said, "Obama's visit to India was a total eyewash. America has always hurt Pakistan in the name of friendship."
