Sayeed also criticised the Pakistan government, saying it was damaging the 8220;freedom struggle8221; in Kashmir. He said the government talked of building a dam, but where would the water come from. 8220;First of all, you have to liberate Kashmir for that.8221; Pakistan8217;s founder, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, had described Kashmir as Pakistan8217;s jugular, but the present rulers were undoing the freedom movement there, he said. Citing Rahul Gandhi8217;s remarks on the Gandhi family8217;s role in dividing Pakistan and creating Bangladesh, Sayeed said, 8220;With the facts that are coming to the fore, there remains no reason to establish friendly relations with India.8221; He said there were internal and external conspiracies against Pakistan, so the nation should dissolve differences between Sindhis, Balochs, and Pathans to unite under jihad. The US, he said, was threatening Iran but the real danger was to Pakistan and other Islamic nations.
