LAHORE: Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed on Tuesday led hundreds of his supporters in a rally from Lahore to Islamabad to protest against the unrest and deaths in Jammu and Kashmir, vowing to march towards the Indian state in support of the Kashmiri people. The “Kashmir Caravan” organised by Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), the organisation now headed by Saeed, began from Lahore’s busy Mall Road on Tuesday afternoon. The caravan, comprising trucks and buses, stretched for several kilometres. Members of the JuD, Jamaat-e-Islami and other religious parties are expected to join the rally at places such as Muridke and Gujranwala in Punjab province. .
