Amid efforts to bring down tensions and restart the bilateral dialogue, the Jamaat-ud-Dawah, a front for the banned leT, on Friday organised an anti-India march from the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi to Islamabad.
Thousands of supporters led by JuD chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed began the “Defa-e-Pakistan” rally in Rawalpindi Friday afternoon. The JuD mobilised its activists across the country for the rally.
It had promised to put up an “impressive anti-India show” by organising the rally. Shouting slogans, the crowd moved towards Islamabad under heavy security.
The JuD had its own security guards dressed in black.
