‘10,000 Youths Sent to Kashmir’: Pakistani Cleric Makes Big Claim About LeT Founder Hafiz Saeed

A Pakistani cleric has claimed that 10,000 youths were sent to Kashmir in connection with Hafiz Saeed, the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The allegation, made during a public statement, has drawn attention because Saeed remains a controversial figure accused by India and the United States of supporting militancy. The claim could not be independently verified from available details. It has nevertheless renewed debate over recruitment, cross-border militancy and religious influence in Pakistan. Authorities have not confirmed the figure or provided evidence.
