JuD chief Haifiz Saeed, who was on Sunday called the mastermind of the Afzal Guru event in JNU by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, released a video clarifying that he had no role in the incident. He also denied instigating any Kashmiri groups to raise pro-Pakistan slogans.

He further clarified that a tweet which was circulated on his name calling for support for JNU protests was a fake one. He hit out at Rajnath Singh saying that he shouldn't try to divert attention from the Kashmir issue by leveling allegations against him.

He also took the opportunity to take potshots at the Indian government for alleging his involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. He says that all such allegations were part of "India's propaganda", that has been rejected by the Pakistani court.
