Pak acting against JuD, Hafiz Saeed under Raddul Fasaad, not US pressure: defence minister
2018-01-04
[DAWN] Defence Minister Khurram Dastagir on Wednesday rejected the notion that Pakistain has acted against Jamaat-ud-Dawa
...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba...
chief Hafiz Saeed
...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat...
due to pressure from the United States, saying that all action against the JuD falls under the ambit of Operation Raddul Fasaad.

Dastagir, in an interview with BBC Urdu, said that although a number of organizations have been banned internationally, Pakistain would assess the situation and take steps accordingly.

"Action against JuD is being carried out in light of a well thought out strategy for a safer Pakistain where turbans are never able to gun down school children ever again," Dastagir said during the interview.

"It is not that we will take up arms against our own country ‐ that time has passed," he said, adding that Pakistain will now make calculated decision.

The minister said that the Pakistain we see today is a post-Operation Zarb-e-Azb
..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)...
Pakistain. "The country we see today came to be after countless sacrifices made by citizens, soldiers and officers of the Pakistain Army," he added.
