Mumbai 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed under house arrest since January
Islamabad/New Delhi: Mumbai terror attacks mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed’s release order by a Pakistani judicial body shows how Pakistan is “hoodwinking” the international community on the issue of terrorism, government sources said on Wednesday. “The release order only shows that Pakistan provides free space to terrorists to indulge in acts against other countries. And in case of Saeed, a designated terrorist, it also shows how Pakistan is hoodwinking the international community on the issue of terrorism,” a source said.
Pakistan keeps giving assurances to the international community that it is making all efforts to tackle terrorism but it never implement its assurances in reality and this is one example, another source said.
Saeed has been under house arrest since January. Earlier he was living freely in Pakistan, one of the sore points in the country’s fraying relationship with the United States.
