Jamaatud Dawa (JuD), chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed believes that UN’s restrictions were not new and the group would continue with its public welfare and education projects.
In a press conference with Mufti Mohammad Naeem at Jamia Binnoria Al Alamia in the Site area, Karachi he said “It has been going on over the past six years, the courts have given us a clean chit and declared us as innocent and respected citizens of the country. But the media is exaggerating the six-year-old curbs imposed on JuD by the United Nations after the recent Foreign Office (FO) briefing.”
JuD’s chief said “We are not going to abandon these projects and a certain class and group were targeting JuD to promote a certain agenda. But we are true Pakistanis and will defend the land and its ideology.
Earlier this week. Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said at a media briefing that JuD and some other organisations had been included in the sanctions list of the UN and Pakistan, being a member of the world body, was obliged to act against such outfits.
However, the FO avoided confirming that JuD and the Haqqani network had been banned.
