Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed challenges Pak govt's ban on media coverage of JuD

[Zarvan]

Lahore: Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has challenged the Pakistan government's decision to ban media coverage of his outlawed organisations Jammat-ud-Dawah and its front Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation in the Lahore High Court.



Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority which comes under the Federal Information Ministry on November 2 had asked all broadcasters to refrain from covering 72 banned groups including LeT, JuD and FIF under UN restriction.

Saeed through his counsel Advocate A K Dogar filed a petition in the Lahore High Court on Wednesday, challenging the ban on his organisations.

Justice Aminuddin Khan took up the petition of Saeed and allowed Saeed's counsel to argue.

Advocate Dogar told the court that JuD and FIF were charitable organisations and had "no nexus with the banned Lashkar-i-Taiba".

He said JuD has established 142 schools and four universities in different cities of the country.

He said PEMRA had ordered all Pakistani TV channels to ban coverage of JuD and FIF "which is illegal".

"Both organisations of his client (Saeed) are mentioned in the list of proscribed organizations. The JuD and FIF are mentioned in a list circulated by UN but it is clear from the document that they are not the proscribed organisations," Dogar said.

He said that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali had made it clear that JuD was not a proscribed organisation.

He pleaded the court to set aside the impugned directive of PEMRA for being "unlawful".

The LHC issued notices to the federal government and Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority to submit parawise comments on Saeed's petition on next hearing.

The judge adjourned the hearing till December 8.

The UN declared JuD a terror organisation and also individually designated Saeed as a terrorist in December 2008.

The US has already put USD 10 million bounty on Saeed's head.

Saeed, who orchestrated the November, 2008, Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people were killed, roams around freely in Pakistan despite being a designated terrorist and has made many anti-India remarks and speeches.

After what I have seen and the way Indians frame our people on false counts of terrorism well I must say I am not sure Hafiz Saeed really has anything to do with terrorism. He may be anti Indian and the host of one of the largest humanitarian fronts but I think he is purposely being framed for a crime he did not commit. I know a lot of people framed as terrorists and have tried to investigate such cases as well. It is clear that many innocents are victims of framing which is very common today.

What is more is that not only India but countries like Canada and US have taken part in this framing.

Actually I have several time asked him how he " knows" these ridiculous things -the answer is always that he has " Un-name able SOURCES". wink wink

I suspect these sources are youtube videos like the one that proved that Obama was actually the anti Christ.
