The founder of Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hafiz Saeed, has warned violence in Indian-ruled Kashmir will escalate in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.
Hafiz Saeed, designated a terrorist by the U.S. with a $10 million bounty on his head, also says he will lead nationwide protests in Pakistan to force its government to sever ties with the United States if it cannot convince Washington to intervene in the decades old Kashmir dispute.
At least 31 people have been killed in Kashmir amid recent street protests after Indian troops last week killed, Burhan Wani, a charismatic Kashmiri insurgent.
Militants are demanding the Himalayan state of Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan be united either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country.
