Lahore High Court dismisses case against Hafiz Saeed
Lahore HC ordered that the 26/11 terror case against JUD chief Hafiz Saeed be dismissed as the Anti-terror law is not applicable in the case. Indian government has maintained that Saeed is allegedly responsible for masterminding 26/11 attack.
IN A major setback to India, which has consistently demanded action against Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, the Lahore High Court on Monday (October 12), ordered that the 26/11 terror case against him be dismissed as the Anti-terror law is not applicable in the case. A dossier containing evidences, which implicated the JuD chief in the Mumbai terror attacks was also handed over to the Pakistan government to ensure that Saeed was charged and brought to justice. It was on the basis of this dossier that India had demanded action against the terror mastermind and called for charging him under the anti-terror law.
However, the decision by the Lahore High Court today could prove a major setback for the Indian authorities seeking to bring the perpetrators of Mumbai attacks to book. All though nine out of ten attackers were killed by the security forces and one is under trial in India, but authorities maintain that real masterminds of the attacks are safely sitting in Pakistan.
