India on Thursday termed as matter of ‘grave concern’ the activities in Pakistan of Jamat-ud-Dawah 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 spokesperson Vikas Swarup also made it clear that it was for Pakistan to rein in the JuD chief.
“Hafiz Saeed is globally-designated international terrorist. His claim that his many front organisations are carrying out charitable work is 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 on Wednesday, 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.”
