India unjustifiably naming Saeed, Lakhvi in case: JD
LAHORE: India is trying to defame the Kashmiri freedom movement by unjustifiably naming Hafiz Saeed and Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi in the Mumbai attacks case, Jamaatud Dawa (JD) spokesman Yahya Mujahid said on Monday in response to an Indian court’s verdict against Ajmal Kasab, the alleged lone surviving gunmen involved in the Mumbai attacks. “Right after the Mumbai attacks, Saeed categorically denied any involvement of his organisation in a press conference held the next day,” he said. Yahya said the attorney general of Pakistan, advocate general of Punjab and other government law officials had put forth all available evidence before the Lahore High Court on the matter. “After careful review and diligent hearings, a full bench of the LHC decided that all the accusations against Saeed were baseless,” he said. staff report
