Washington: The US has appealed to the United Nations to prosecute Hafiz Saeed, who has been declared a terrorist by the United Nations. The US has made this appeal at such a time when the Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahid Khakon Abbasi remarked that no action can be taken against Saeed. Abbasi had addressed Saeed as ‘Sahib’ in an interview broadcast on ‘Geo TV’ on Tuesday. When Abbasi asked why no step was taken against Saeed, the Prime Minister of Pakistan in response to this had said, “There is no issue in Pakistan against Hafiz Saeed. When any case is lodged, action can be taken then only. ”
Responding to this, External Affairs spokesman Heather said that the United States believes that a lawsuit should be initiated against Saeed and he has told Pakistan about it. “We believe that prosecutions should be initiated against him,” Nort said in his daily press conference yesterday. Due to relation with terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, he has been included in the list of ‘UNSC 1267, al-Qaeda Ban Committee for Alert Banning Committee’ for targeted restrictions. “Heather said,” We have fully clarified ourselves with the Pakistan Government Have kept things and worries. We believe that it should be prosecuted. ”
In response to a question he said that the US has seen the news of Abbasi’s remarks “Surely” about Saeed. Heather said, “We consider him a terrorist and a foreign terrorist organization. We believe that it was the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Many people including the Americans were killed in this attack. “Saeed, chief of Jamaat ud-Dawa, was released from detention in Pakistan in November. The United States considers Jamaat ud-Dawa (JUD) as a LeT ally. Saeed founded the LeT in the year 1987. Lashkar is responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks. 166 people died in this attack. Heather said that the Trump administration expects Pakistan to contribute more in tackling terrorist cases.
He said, “We are completely clear about this matter. All of us know about this information given by us about two weeks ago that we have decided to stop financial help to protect Pakistan. “Heather said that the entire administration is united on the issue of US-Pakistan relations. The US had stopped security assistance of $ 2 billion given to Pakistan earlier this month and accused him of not taking sufficient action against terrorism. In response, Pakistan stopped military and intelligence cooperation with the United States. The US foreign ministry yesterday said that it has not received any formal information about it from Pakistan.
