(JuD) charity, as well as its associated organization, the Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF).
"We've received the interior ministry directions, and according to that, Hafiz Saeed and his charities, like JuD and FIF, have been banned to operate in Pakistain," Sanaullah told Rooters news agency.
"As per the instructions, we have already started taking over all the facilities, offices, schools, dispensaries and seminaries which belong to the JuD and FIF."
Rawalpindi commissioner Nadeem Aslam told Rooters that officials had "taken over all the JuD and FIF assets" and that the "takeover was complete".
The move by Pak authorities came days before a key meeting by the Financial Action Task Force, a global money-laundering watchdog, that will consider a US-sponsored motion to place Pakistain on a list of countries failing to prevent "terrorism" financing, Rooters reported.
Pakistain's Geo News reported that President Mamnoon Hussain on Friday amended the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 "to proscribe entities banned by the United Nations (Security Council) Act 1948".
In 2002, Pakistain banned the LeT as a "terrorist" organization, and, since 2008, authorities say they have been abiding by UN sanctions that subject JuD to an assets freeze, arms embargo and international travel ban.
Under house arrest since January 2017, Saeed was released in November after a court in Pakistain rejected a government application to extend his detention under anti-terrorism laws, saying there was no evidence to support the application.
He denies any involvement in the Mumbai attacks or connection to LeT, which has been blamed for a series of deadly attacks against Indian security forces and civilians, mostly in the disputed territory of Kashmire.
Saeed says he now heads JuD, which has been designated by the UN and US as a front for LeT.
In August, the LeT launched a political party, the Milli Moslem League (MML), and took part in a by-election in the eastern city of Lahore.
Election banners for MML's candidate, Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh, prominently featured images of Saeed.
However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
two months later, the Election Commission of Pakistain rejected its registration due to its links with JuD and FIF.
