Islamabad, Jan 24: Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has approached the Lahore High Court seeking protection from his arrest, alleging that Pakistani government wants to arrest him at the behest of the United States and India.
Anticipating a possible action against him, Saeed on Tuesday filed the petition through his counsel A K Dogar in Lahore Court seeking its direction to the Pakistani government restraining it from arresting him, according to a report published in Pakistan Daily Dawn News.
Saeed alleged a delegation of the United Nations was due in the country on Friday (January 26) and the government intended to take an 'adverse action' against him during the team's stay. UNI

Islamabad, Nov 25: Pakistan has justified release of Hafiz Saeed -- a firebrand Pakistani militant accused of masterminding bloody 2008 assault in Mumbai of India having $10-miilion US bounty on his head -- from house arrest in Pakistan, claiming that he was released by a court after due legal process.
Hafiz Saeed was freed by Pakistan on Friday. Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said on late Friday night that courts in Pakistan, pursuant to their constitutional duty, were determined to uphold rule of law and due process for all citizens of Pakistan. "Legal processes were anchored in rule of law, not dictates of politics and posturing," he said, adding that it was in the interest of all States to speak and act in a manner that was consistent with the imperatives of adhering to rule of law at the national and international levels. Mr Faisal claimed that Islamabad was committed to the implementation of United Nations Security Council 1267 sanctions regime on terrorists and has taken several steps in this regard. India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said Saeed’s release confirmed once again the lack of seriousness by the Pakistan Government in bringing to justice perpetrators of terrorism, including individuals and entities designated by the UN. MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had said in New Delhi on Thursday, “It also appears to be an attempt by the Pakistani system to mainstream proscribed terrorists. Pakistan has not changed its policy of shielding and supporting non-state actors and its true face is visible for all to see.” Responding to Mr Kumar's comments, Mr Faisal said, “The [MEA] spokesperson took exception to self-serving insinuations,” he said in statement issues late Friday night. 'Pakistan’s resolve, actions and successes in the fight against terrorism, terrorist violence and terrorists are unmatched in the world. Pakistan condemns and opposes all forms of terrorism by any individual or group,” Mr Faisal said. Saeed, in his late 60s, was under house arrest for 297 days from January this year. His release after Friday midnight came ahead of the 9th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, in which 166 people, including six Americans, were killed. UNI

Islamabad, Nov 24: Hafiz Saeed, a firebrand Pakistani militant accused of masterminding a bloody 2008 assault in Mumbai of India having $10-miilion US bounty on his head, was released from house arrest on Friday.
Saeed claimed that his freedom was vindication of his denial of guilt. He has been under house arrest since January this year after living freely in Pakistan for years, a sore point in Pakistan's often fraught relations with both the United States and India.
"I am fighting for Kashmir's independence. I pray to god for getting the freedom for Kashmir," he said in a video message. Pakistan's Punjab province on Wednesday had asked for a 60-day extension to his detention but the request was turned down by the court. The review board of the Lahore High Court asked the Punjab Government to produce evidence against Hafiz Saeed for keeping him detained but the government failed. Saeed has repeatedly denied involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 10 gunmen attacked targets in India's largest city, including two luxury hotels, a Jewish centre and a train station in a rampage that killed 166 people. The assault had brought nuclear-armed neighbours Pakistan and India to the brink of war. UNI

Islamabad, Nov 23: After his release from house arrest, Hafiz Saeed, the 26/11 Mumbai attacks' mastermind, vowed to work for the so-called freedom of Kashmir, the media reports here said.
Saeed was put under house arrest in January after years of living freely in Pakistan. He has repeatedly denied his role in the Mumbai attacks in which 166 people were killed. The United States had offered a $10-million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Saeed. "I am fighting for Kashmir's independence. I pray to god for getting the freedom for Kashmir," he said in a video message. Pakistan's Punjab province had asked for a 60-day extension to his detention but the request was turned down by the court. The review board of the Lahore High Court asked the Punjab Government to produce evidence against Hafiz Saeed for keeping him detained but the government failed. UNI

New Delhi, Aug 4  Taking cognizance of reports in a section of Pakistan media that Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed could enter politics, India today said that such individuals could "hide his blood-stained hands behind the ballot ink" ".......such an individual is perhaps wanting to hide his blood-stained hands behind the ballot ink or the person who has traded in bullets to take human lives is trying to hide behind ballots," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Gopal Baglay told reporters in weekly media briefing here. “The person who has traded in bullets to take human lives, is he trying to hide behind ballot, that is a matter of concern," Mr Baglay said. A section of Pakistani media has reported that Saeed, who is reportedly under house arrest, has changed the name of his organisation to Milli Muslim League Pakistan and is planning to approach the Election Commission of Pakistan to register his party. According to reports, the Punjab government in Pakistan on July 31 issued a notification to extend the house arrest of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed for two more months. Ironically, Jamat-ud-Dawah is supposed to be the 'charitable wing' of the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. "They have been carrying out terrorist activities not only against India but against others in the region and it has been a matter of concern not only for us but for the entire region and beyond," Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said. Mr Baglay further said: "It is Pakistan's obligation obviously to make sure that such individuals and organisations are not able to enjoy any freedom to conduct terrorist activities and the international obligations which Pakistan has and the international sanctions on these individuals and organisations are enforced 100 per cent". The developments in Pakistan are significant as former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been disqualified by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. UNI
