26/11: Summons to Pak official on Saeed’s petition

Lahore, August 27

A Pakistani court on Tuesday summoned an official of the counter-terrorism department of Punjab police on a petition filed by Mumbai attack mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed challenging his arrest in terror-financing cases.

The Lahore HC held the hearing after Saeed and 67 other leaders of JuD and Falah-i-Insaniat filed a fresh petition removing the objection of the Registrar office.

The LHC Registrar office earlier had raised an objection on the petition of Saeed and others that they attached pictures of mosques with it (petition), which were built on the occupied land to give it a “religious colour”. Petitioners’ counsel argued Saeed had no link with Al-Qaeda or any other terrorist organisation. — PTI
