New Delhi: In the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Lahore visit, Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has set up a 24-hour cyber cell to carry out terror strikes in India.
Reports claim that Saeed recently attended a two-day conference in Lahore, where cyber war against India was discussed. The poster at the meet described it as a social media conference of the Cyber Team of Jamaat-ud-Dawah.
Saeed runs the Lahore-based Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which he claims is a humanitarian charity. The JuD has been blacklisted by the US, which has described it as a foreign terrorist organisation. The UN declared Saeed as a terrorist in December 2008.
Saeed, a major irritant in the already strained relationship between India and Pakistan, has recently slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for giving a warm welcome to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi during his surprise visit to Lahore.
Last month, there were reports that to make communication secure, terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) had developed a mobile application to stay in touch with its operatives in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to intelligence inputs, Saeed has been repeatedly provoking terrorists against India and delivering 'motivational' speeches in terrorist camps to engineer terror acts.
Saeed, who orchestrated the November, 2008, Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people were killed, roams around freely in Pakistan despite being a designated terrorist.
