Hafiz Saeed’s Jamat-ud-Dawa Continues Operation Under New Names After The Ban: Pak Daily Says It’s Business As Usual

26/11 Mumbai Attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed’s terrorist outfits continue to function in Pakistan using new aliases despite the recent ban by the Imran Khan government on Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and its charity arm Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), reports Daily Times.

Hafiz Saeed who is the founder of JuD and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is a global terrorist designated so by the United Nations.

“Despite the ban imposed on Hafiz Saeed’s Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) by the government, the same are operating throughout Pakistan using new names. These two organisations have recently been banned again, as a part of the government’s other initiatives to accelerate anti-terrorism operations and re-establish the writ of the state,” read the story in DT, a leading daily in Pakistan.

It has been reported that at most locations, the ‘outlets’ of these underground organisations have been rebranded and repackaged. “Though the banners outside have changed but the faces inside are the same.”

Collecting Money For ‘Good Things’

Also, these organisations were found to be openly collecting funds to carry terrorist attacks against India near Al Qadsia mosque in Lahore. “As these ‘outlets’ were observed during the last two days, many common people were seen visiting and donating money by putting cash in donation boxes built outside. The donations were collected in the name of helping, feeding or providing ambulance service to the poor and other ‘good things,’” the newspaper said.
