Don't allow Rajnath Singh to visit Pakistan, or else there will be unrest : Hafeez Sayeed to Pak Govt

New Delhi, Aug 1 (IBNS) : Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Sayeed has asked the Pakistani government not to allow Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh to visit Pakistan, media reports said.

Accusing Rajnath Singh of being "responsible for the killings of innocent Kashmiris", Sayeed has warned of a countrywide protest in Pakistan  if  Singh  arrives in Islamabad to attend the Saarc ministerial conference..

According to India Today, Sayeed said that  Rajnath Singh's visit to Pakistan should only be considered if India allows the Pakistani government to send people to Jammu and Kashmir to help the Kashmiris there.

He also said that Pakistan should stop the export of onions and potatoes to India and should instead send relief materials to Kashmir.

"I want to ask the Pakistani government: Will it add insult to injury to the wounds of Kashmiris by welcoming Rajnath who is responsible for the killings of innocent Kashmiris?" he asked in a statement in Lahore.

"It will be ironic as on the one hand, the whole Pakistani nation is protesting against the Indian atrocities in Kashmir and on the other hand, the Pakistani rulers will be garlanding Singh," the statement, issued on Monday, said.

Haffez Sayeed, who is the  mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attack, also said : "If Rajnath Singh comes to Islamabad on August 3, the JuD would hold countrywide protest to tell the world that the Pakistani rulers might have compulsions to receive Kashmiris' killers but the people of Pakistan are siding with oppressed Kashmiris."

Sayeed warned the government that Singh's presence in Islamabad may create "unrest" among Kashmiris as well as Kashmiris were being killed in India  "at the hands of Indian forces".

The current unrest in Kashmir is going on since the encounter death of Hijbul terrorist Burhan Wani on July 8. About 45 people have so far died in clashes with security forces.
