“The stage is being set to encircle Pakistan,” he said while talking to journalists on Saturday. He believed Indian PM Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the US was part of a “well thought out plan to isolate Pakistan.

“The Indian Ocean is being blocked to tighten the noose around us,” Saeed said. “The kind of welcome Modi got in the US and the encouragement he received to spit venom against Pakistan is not something coming out of the blue. It was all planned, yet totally uncalled for.” The JuD chief said Pakistani politicians have damaged the country more than anybody else.
