Jamaat-ud-Dawa head Abdul Rehman Makki has pledged to intensify jihad against India in Jammu and Kashmir. Makki, in a speech at the "Shohda-e-Kashmir" conference held at Al-Daawa Model School in Lahore, praised the spirit of martyrdom of Abu Waleed Mohammad, and simultaneously recalled the sacrifices made by tens of thousands of JuD cadres who had waged a "jihad" in Kashmir.

The "Shohda-e-Kashmir" event at Al-Daawa Model School in Lahore was held to observe the "martyrdom" of militant Abu Waleed Mohammad who was killed in Bandipora on 3 March 2017.

Makki criticised western countries for labeling JuD cadres as extremists, jihadis, fundamentalists and terrorists and for declaring the organisation as dangerous to peace in the region. He said that JuD's basic aim was the consolidation of Pakistan and freedom of Kashmiris from the hegemony of Hindu forces.

He also blamed the Indian government for getting the international community to declare Hafiz Saeed a global terrorist and for his eventual house arrest.

Addressing the topic of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Makki said, "Allah punished people for stopping others from following the path of jihad."

Makki used the occasion to confirm the formation of the Milli Muslim League (MML) by the JuD. The father of Abu Waleed Mohammad also spoke to the gathering.
