Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

ISLAMABAD, Feb 6 � Extremist leaders, including JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, have stepped up calls for jihad against India, even advocating the use of nuclear weapons if needed in the �war for Kashmir�, reports PTI.

The vicious comments at a massive rally organised by Jamaat-ud-Dawah to mark the Kashmir Solidarity Day, have come at a time when India and Pakistan are trying to find ways to revive the peace process.

At the rally, speaker after speaker espoused the use of jihad or holy war to settle the Kashmir issue and Saeed said this approach should be adopted even if even leads to a �nuclear war� with India.

Saeed, blamed by India for masterminding the Mumbai attacks, said: �I want to give a message to (Prime Minister) Manmohan Singh � quit Kashmir or get ready to face a war�.
