Saeed tries to 'woo' Pakistani Sikhs ahead of elections
Hafiz Saeed tries to woo Pakistani Sikhs ahead of general elections Mumbai terror attack mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed has met Pakistani Sikhs to woo them for furthering his anti-India agenda and seek their support for his newly formed political party in the upcoming elections. Saeed held a special meeting on Friday with a group of Pakistani Sikhs in Nankana Sahib. Milli Muslim League (MML) chief Saifullah Khalid accompanied Saeed to the meeting with Sikh leaders. The meeting was led by Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) secretary general Gopal Singh Chawla at the JuD office in Nankana Sahib, some 80 km from Lahore. “Sikhs are a brave community but atrocities are being committed against it in India,” Saeed claimed. He said the Pakistan government was not raising a voice because it wanted India’s friendship. “Pakistan is ready to sacrifice anything for the sake of seeking friendship with India,” he claimed. “We want the support of your community across the country,” Khalid said. Khalid is the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people were killed. The MML intends to field candidates in most constituencies in the country despite not being registered with the election commission. General elections are scheduled to be held in Pakistan in July this year. -PTC News
