June 02, 2015 10:57

The chief of the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami party has announced a reward of Rs 1 billion to anyone who "arrests" Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking at a gathering at Rawalakot in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Siraj-ul-Haq said India had not been able to arrest jihadi leaders like Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin even after offering a reward for him. "I want to say to Modi that you and your agents cannot arrest Salahuddin. And you say whoever will arrest Salahuddin, we will give him Rs 50 crore. I too say that whoever arrests Modi, we will give him Rs 1 arab (Rs 1 billion)," he said.
