Days before he was killed, Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani spoke to LeT chief Hafiz Saeed, sought his 'blessings' and offered to put up a united front of LeT and his own Hizbul Mujahideen in their 'jihad' against India.
A release issued by CNN-News18 on Friday said the TV news channel has accessed an audio tape of the conversation between Saeed and Wani from the latter's Valley hideout. The conversation between the two was intercepted by Indian intelligence agencies.
"You people are living in very difficult conditions. But you don't have to worry. inshallah, inshallah whatever you need just tell us, inshallah we are ready for every help and inshallah we are always with you inshallah. May Allah bless you. May we attain our goal by Allah’s grace and may Allah cause the conspiracy of the enemy to fall. We pray, inshallah, and we will do the work, whatever needs to be done, by Allah’s help, we will do it," Saeed is heard telling Wani in the tape.
Wani tells Saeed that "the enemy is almost defeated and we have to maintain this". He is seen fawning all over Saeed during the conversation. “My wish got fulfilled today by Allah’s grace that a nobody like me got an opportunity to talk to you,” Wani says to Sayeed. "We have to go all out on attacks and shouldn't lose this opportunity. For this, we need ammunition and support from the back. We should work together (Hizbul and Lashkar) for this," he is heard as saying.
Wani's his death in an encounter with security forces in July this year had set off a storm of protests in Kashmir.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
