Leader of anti India party addresses supporters

(5 Dec 2014) An anti-India group in Pakistan ended a two day convention in Lahore on Friday that was attended by thousands of supporters from across the country.
The head of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Hafiz Saeed addressed the assembled crowd on day two.
He warned the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he should "resolve the Kashmir dispute, and if you are not ready to resolve, then God willing, Kashmir will be the gate and we will Jihad against India".
Saeed also offered advice to the Islamic State group: "I invite you, you are sitting near the Israel boarder, go and destroy the Israeli Jewish."
The convention was organised by Saeed who is against trade relations between India and Pakistan.
Saeed originally helped establish Lashkar-e-Taiba two decades ago to fight Indian rule in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.
The United Nations considers Jamaat-ud-Dawa to be a front group for Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant organisation blamed in the Mumbai terror attacks of 2008, a charge which the head of JuD, Hafiz Saeed, denies.
The US government named the charity a "foreign terrorist organisation" earlier this year, claiming it is a front for banned militants.
The organisation has also be praised however by many people in Pakistan for providing health care and humanitarian assistance to those in need.
