New Delhi: In a major revelation, some leaders of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) have claimed that the organisation played a role in the massive anti-government protests in Bangladesh last year, which led to the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) is the banned organization led by Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
