Islamabad: Pakistan on Wednesday said that Hafiz Mohammed Saeed’s Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) will not be banned. The government told Parliament that the United Nations had not shared any supporting evidence with Pakistan to establish that JuD was the resurrection of defunct Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT).
However, the government, for the first time, told the senate that JuD and Falah-e-Insaniyat, the two charity organisations, are suspected to be the new names of banned LeT and had not been banned in Pakistan, but only facing international sanctions as a result of the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR).
Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, in his written response to a question by senator Farhatullah Baber, told the House that the UN Security Council Resolution had listed JuD as an alias of LeT, but supporting evidence had not been shared with Pakistan to establish such a connection.
