Imran Khan's fiasco under which JuD and FIF escape ban 10/28/2018 11:06:47 PM Despite the US pressure and con tinued claim of India that JuD was a terrorist organization and needed to be banned but since the new Government has not extended the ban on JuD and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation under a resolution the ban has lapsed. And this was the plea that Hafiz Saeed's counsel before the Islamabad High Court. Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) are no longer on the list of banned outfits in Pakistan as the presidential ordinance that proscribed them under a UN resolution has lapsed. In February this year, former president Mamnoon Hussain promulgated an ordinance amending the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 to declare JuD and FIF as proscribed groups. During a hearing on Thursday of a petition filed by Saeed, his counsel informed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that the presidential ordinance had lapsed and it had never been extended, .It was the job of the new Government to either extend the ordinance or set in motion a new ordinance under which the JuD and FIF would have been banned as the two have links with some terrorist organisations.. The petitioner had challenged the ordinance under which his organisations had been banned for being on the watch list of the United Nations Security Council.Saeed contended in the petition that he established JuD in 2002 and cut off all ties with the banned Lashkar-i-Taiba, but India continued to malign the JuD for its past association with the banned outfit, the report said.But whether willingly or unwillingly Saeed has links with LeT in tact and if India has maligned him it has done with a definite purpose. That too for his hand in Mumbai attack in 2008 which had claimed lives of 166 people and resulted the destruction of private buildings, including five star hotels. Seed had informed the High Court that he had been detained in 2009 and 2017 due to India's pressure. But the way Saeed has been allowed a free movement is worry for India during his movements he has been bulging anti-India hatred. Saeed is told the Court that India has been mounting pressure on Islamabad to detain JuD chief when the incident of Mumbai attack was committed by LeT and since he has ceased his links with LeT he does not deserve any punishment. He has argued that JuD is a religious organization and is engaged in helping the needy and the poor. But India has a genuine grievance against Pakistan which has not extended Anti-terrorism Act passed in 1997 and had Islamabad extended it the JuD and FIF would have been banned. And this time Imran Khan is responsible and it is a lapse on his part and he should have punished those who were engaged in informing the new Prime Minister.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
