"Various actions that needed to be taken under the relevant resolution, i.e. arms embargo, travel ban and asset freeze, were not carried out for some reasons by the previous governments," the spokesperson said without naming the PPP.
The spokesperson said that Pakistain did not need any certification or endorsement from India over the recent actions it had taken in relation to Hafiz Saeed.
India had constantly been using Hafiz Saeed’s political activities as a tool to malign Pakistain, the statement said. "The international community should take note and understand that Pakistain is a democratic society where judiciary takes free, independent and transparent decisions," it said.
"If indeed, India is serious about its allegations, it should come up with concrete evidence against Hafiz Mohammad Saeed which is sustainable in court of law in Pakistain or for that matter anywhere in the world," the spokesperson said, adding: "Mere casting aspersions and levelling allegations without any corroborating evidence would not help the cause of peace in the region."
