NEW DELHI: India today termed as matter of “grave concern” the activities in Pakistan of JuD chief and internationally-designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed, a day after the Mumbai terror attack mastermind warned of more Pathankot- style attacks in the country.
External Affairs Ministry Spokespeson Vikas Swarup also made it clear that it was for Pakistan to rein in the Jamaat- ud-Dawah (JuD) group chief.
“Hafiz Saeed is globally-designated international terrorist. His claim that his many front organisations are carrying out charitable work in not even a fig leaf.
“He indulges in terrorist activities and terrorist financing. It should be a matter of grave concern to everyone that terrorist like Saeed and his associates continues to enjoy the freedom to indulge in their activities,” Swarup said.
Addressing a rally yesterday, Saeed had said,”800,000 Indian troops are committing genocide on Kashmiris. Don’t they have a right to carry out Pathankot-style attacks for their defence?…You have only seen one attack on Pathankot. Matters could easily escalate. (AGENCIES)
