Haifiz Saeed, the terrorist who is accused of carrying out terror activities against India and the chief of Jamaat-Ud-Dawah, charity wing of banned terror group Lashkar-E-Taiba, on Saturday said that India staged the surgical strike ‘drama’ following domesic pressure on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to retaliate after 19 soldiers were killed in an attack on an army base in Uri sector in Jammu And Kashmir.

Saeed said, “They (some people in India) started asking that 'you had said that you would attack Pakistan, you would do a surgical strike'. Everyone who was in grip of this fever started asking Modi and the Indian government. For this Ajit Doval staged a drama. He made up a surgical strike drama while sitting indoors.”

The terrorist who facilitated 2008 terror attack on Mumbai, further added, “The whole film was made in which this surgical drama was shown in which they said their 150 expert paratroopers, after crossing the control line and entering Pakistan, carried out a raid. Actually, no raid was carried out, neither in Bhimber nor in Lipa, Chamb and dudhnia.”

Indian Army earlier claimed that the special forces of the Army conducted surgical strikes on terrorist camps in Pok, across Line of Control.

Meanwhile, the anti-India protests were held in Pakistan’s cities such as Lahore, Multan, Karachi and some cities of Balochistan in the wake of rising tensions between the arch rivals.
