Giving details about the deposition of Headley which began at 7 AM here, Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told reporters here that the terrorist said he wanted to fight against the army deployed in Kashmir.

However, Lahvi told Headley that they have something "more adventurous" for him. "He revealed a lot about Major Iqbal and Major Ali, both of them were there in ISI. It was Major Iqbal who trained him and he also unravelled names of few LeT trainers before the court," Nikam said.

He said more important questions will be asked tomorrow and prosecution will try to reveal the truth.

"I am absolutely satisfied with what Headley had revealed in today's deposition. Headley has given certain sensational revelations during his deposition. He confirmed that he met Hafiz Saeed and he identified his picture as well," he said.

Nikam said Headley told the court that he joined LeT in 2002 and completed training course where learned to operate AK47, bomb explosion and execute reccee.

"He also joined a leadership course where both Sayeed and Lakhvi used to come and give speeches against India. He completed his education from Hasan Abdal Cadet College in Pakistan but left for America at the age of 17," he said.

Headley's lawyer's Mahesh Jethmalini said he has confessed that he had joined LeT after being influenced by Hafiz Saeed.

He also told the court that there were two unsuccessful attempts to carry out terror attacks before the 26/11 attacks.

"But he has not explained the role of LeT in the attack. As a prosecutor, I am here to cooperate with the prosecution and help advance the case further and whatever be the findings of this deposition will be significant," he said.

Leading lawyer Majeed Memon said Headley's deposition will help India unravel a lot of hidden facts behind the 26/11 attack and will make Pakistan talk about a lot of things which they have been denying so far.

Ghaziabad, Jul 28: Days ahead of Eid-ul-Adha, Nand Kishore Gurjar, a BJP MLA from Loni assembly constituency in Ghaziabad, has stoked controversy as he asked people celebrating the festival to "sacrifice their children instead of animals" on the occasion. He also claimed that "meat spreads coronavirus" so people should not be allowed to sacrifice innocent animals.

"People who want to sacrifice on Eid should sacrifice their children. I will not let people consume meat and alcohol in Loni. We will not let people sacrifice innocent animals because meat spreads coronavirus," the BJP legislator said while speaking to reporters.

"The way people have followed the guidelines of the government by not offering prayers and namaz at temples and mosques to contain COVID-19, in the same way, they must not give the sacrifice of animals on this Eid," he added.

"Earlier, sacrifices of animals used to be done in Sanatan Dharam as well. However, now coconut is offered instead. I request the Muslim brothers not to give 'qurbani' of animals. We will stop those who will perform the ritual animal sacrifice. We will not let this happen in Loni," he said.
