Key conspirator of 26/11 attack,  Jamaat-ud-Dawa's (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed has admitted to the fact that Pakistani army has helped in 'waging jihad' in Jammu and Kashmir. In an interview he said that his organisation supports Pakistan army's effort in Kashmir. 

Speaking to Pakistan's Channel 24, Saeed said, “There are lakhs of people in Kashmir who are demanding freedom. If the Indian government resorts to firing then we will also retaliate in a strong manner. We support Pakistan, Pakistan government and Pakistan Army in their effort to help the people of Kashmir who don't have freedom. And we call it jihad,” said Saeed whose organisation has been formally banned in Pakistan. 

Saeed on earlier occassions had spoken about need for Jihad in Kashmir. But for the first time he conceded that Pakistan army is also involved in fomenting trouble in the valley. Saeed was speaking on the issue of arrest of separatist leader Masarat Alam. He condemned the decision to arrest Alam saying Kashmir is a disputed area, hence it is not wrong to wave Pakistan flag there.
