TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/The Lahore High Court on Thursday ordered government authorities to not “harass” banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief and 2008 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed and allow him to continue his “social welfare activities”.
The founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) alleged in a petition that the government was interfering in his party’s welfare projects because it had bowed down to pressure from India and the US.
The petition argued that barring an organisation or party from indulging in charity work was against the Constitution. Justice Ameenud Din Khan, who heard the petition filed by lawyer A.K. Dogar on Saeed’s behalf, also directed the authorities to submit their responses by April 23.
Saeed had filed a nearly identical petition through Dogar before the same judge in March. That time, Justice Khan had directed the federal and provincial governments to submit their responses by April 27.
