Pervez Musharraf, who recently announced a ‘grand alliance’ of 23 political parties, also said he is always in favour of ‘action’ in Jammu and Kashmir and ‘suppressing Indian Army in Kashmir’. Photo: BloombergKarachi/Dubai: Calling himself the “biggest supporter” of the LeT and its founder Hafiz Saeed, Pakistan’s former dictator Parvez Musharraf has said he backs the terror group’s role in “suppressing” the Indian Army in Kashmir. Calling himself the biggest supporter of LeT and Saeed, Musharraf said he knows that he is also liked by the militant group and the Jammat-ud-Dawa, the group headed by Saeed in Pakistan. When asked about it, Musharraf said he banned the terror group under “different circumstances” without elaborating further. The JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the banned LeT which is responsible for carrying out the Mumbai terror attack in 2008.
