Pakistan declares 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed a terrorist
Pakistan president signed an ordinance that brings all individuals and organisations banned by the UN.
Hafiz Saeed, the 26/11 Mumbai blasts mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief, has been declared a terrorist by Pakistan, according to media reports.
Sources in the Pakistani National Counter-Terrorism Authority (NACTA) qouted Pakistan's President Mamnoon Hussain on Monday signed an ordinance that brings all individuals and organisations banned by the UN Security Council (UNSC) - including 26/11 attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed and his group, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) - under the ambit of the country's stringent Anti-Terrorism Act.
Earlier on Monday, Chief Justice Saqib Nisar had ordered the Punjab police to open all roads blocked in the name of security in Lahore.
"If you fail to submit a compliance report, the court will decide your fate. You are not going to stay as the IG even if the chief minister wants to retain you," Justice Nisar has warned the Inspector General of Police yesterday.
Deputy Inspector General (Lahore) Dr Haider Ashraf on Monday told PTI that police had removed blockades from some 16 places including the JuD headquarters on the order of the apex court.
Ashraf said that police have also removed road blockades outside the residences of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Canada-based cleric Dr Tahirul Qadri and slain governor Salmaan Taseer.
Responding to a question about any resistance faced by police from the supporters of JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, Ashraf said: "We presented the SC order to the JuD chief before removing the barricades placed on the roads outside Qadsia headquarters of JuD."
The JuD had placed barricades more than 10 years ago outside its headquarters in Chauburji blocking the main roads there. The blockade had been causing immense problems to motorists and local residents but no one neither dared to raise a voice nor filed a petition in the court apparently because of the fear of the JuD men.
The JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the LeT which is responsible for carrying out the Mumbai attack that killed 166 people. It has been declared as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US in June 2014.
Justice Nisar had issued the order while hearing a suo motu case regarding blockade of roads in the city by politicians and private people.
When the law officer told the court that the barricades had been installed outside the residences of different 'VIPs' as they have threats to their lives, Nisar said, "Even I have been receiving constant threats. Go and construct bomb-proof walls for your houses, have snipers on rooftops, but do not block roads."

What else you expect from Indian League PMLN?
this is a weird comment.
it’s not about proving yourself to the world, it’s about standing firm with justice
No it’s not, you’re brain cells don’t get it and that is fine
rest assure we are not discussing Hafiz Saeed here since the government has made up their decision which the next government may change or uphold desirably.
They can't go against law of land,binding or not.I have operated under them and i know very well.
Has the Government of Pakistan made this decision against the wishes of its citizens ?
If so, then, may one ask, Why ?
You will get what you give. Proxy or not. And our blood boils when our own citizens dies be it soldiers or civilians in Kashmir because some country wants to expand their land.it's just because of american pressure,nothing else.he was arrested twice in the past.this decision can be changed.also in the coming months or weeks,major decisions will be made.a military conflict between india and pakistan is also possible.indian defence minister said twice that india will take revenge.if india do something, all bans will be lifted.public sympathy is always with kashmir freedom fighters and why not! don't tell me that indian army didn't kill a single boy inside valley.we never wanted proxy but you forced us into this situation.men on both sides will continue to die until and unless you solve kashmir.either both forces vacate kashmir forever or both will try to grab others land.that is a terrible situation.when your jawan dies, you blood boils.when we see indian army killing youths inside valley,our blood boils.we never wanted this bloodshed.this kashmir is a problem for both armies.
WTH are u talking about???which UN are u talking about...UN which has become a puppet in the hands of west and particularly USA???Now if tomorrow india says it doesn't like any xyz person/organization and asks USA to ban it..just like in case of hafiz saeed...and USA does it using the puppet UN..would that be justified????nothing wrong in respecting UN decisions especially bcoz we expect UN to implement its resolutions about Kashmir,
Hafiz Saeed have filed a case in UN for removel of his name, he was decleared innocent by Pakistani courts, Pakistan Govt should support its innocent citizen against foreign conspiracy and propaganda..
