Cannot defend Hafiz Saeed in US lawsuit: Pak govt to court
Cannot defend Hafiz Saeed in US lawsuit: Pak govt to court - The Times of India
The Pakistan government on Monday informed a court that it could not defend Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed in a US lawsuit filed by relatives of two Jewish victims of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
Deputy attorney general Naseem Kashmiri, in a written reply submitted on behalf of foreign ministry to Justice Umar Ata Bandial of the Lahore high court, said: "The government is defending the ISI before the US court being an institute of the government while the JuD or its chief are not part of the government."
"Therefore, the government cannot provide legal assistance to him or his organisation," the reply said.
