Jailed Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik, serving a life sentence in a terror funding case, has made startling claims in an affidavit submitted to the Delhi High Court. Malik alleged that his 2006 meeting in Pakistan with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed was held at the behest of India’s Intelligence Bureau (IB) and not on his own initiative. Malik stated that the meeting was part of a backchannel peace process and was later misrepresented as evidence of his proximity to terror groups.
