Untouchable Ties: Hafiz Spews Venom While Pakistan Shields a Mother's Son

In a provocative display of defiance, Hafiz continues to spew venomous rhetoric, secure in the knowledge that Pakistan’s protection renders him untouchable. Dubbed a 'mother’s son,' his audacity highlights the deep ties that shield him from accountability, raising questions about the forces at play.

Hafiz Saeed (X)

To show the world, Pakistan sometimes kept him under house arrest and sometimes arrested him. But he always remained the apple of the eye of the rulers there. From Nawaz to Imran, he kept instigating the Pakistani rulers against India from open platforms. He also kept challenging America and Israel.

'No one can touch Hafiz'
When his terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba was banned, he found a way out. He donned the garb of Jamaat-ud-Dawa. YouTube and social media are full of his venomous speeches against India. This video is proof of how Hafiz has been nurtured in Pakistan, when a minister of the Imran government was caught on camera saying about this world's most wanted terrorist that no one can touch Hafiz sahab.

What are Hafiz's intentions regarding India (if he is still alive) can be understood by listening to his speeches. He talks about war not only in Kashmir but also in Hyderabad. Hafiz Saeed entered the world of terrorism in the late 1970s. He went to Afghanistan for training in terrorism. At that time, Qal Qaeda was taking roots there.

Hafiz became Laden's 'Guru Bhai'
In Afghanistan, Hafiz caught Bin Laden's mentor Abdullah Azam. Azam was busy preparing a nursery for Al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan in those days. After completing the terror training, in 2005, he made a plan to send the fighters being trained in Lashkar-e-Taiba camps in Pakistan on missions to other countries. By then, his mission of terrorism had started in Kashmir as well.

Lashkar of terror prepared in Pakistan
Hafiz travelled to Saudi Arabia. He prepared a blueprint for infiltration of Lashkar terrorists in Iraq. In 2006, Saeed started strengthening terrorist camps in Pakistan. Along with running a school of terror, he also started raising funds from abroad. Saeed sent a Lashkar operative to Europe to arrange for money. In June 2006, a Lashkar camp was set up in Quetta to help the Taliban in Afghanistan.

It is also surprising that Hafiz kept challenging the world's most powerful nation America openly, but it could not do any harm to him except putting him in jail (read government hospitality). .
