On one hand, Pakistan talks about eliminating terrorism.
On the other hand, terrorist Hafiz Saeed is preparing to contest in the upcoming general elections of Pakistan. Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has formed the Pakistan Markaz Muslim League (PMML) party.
According to Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Hafiz Saeed’s party is fielding candidates in all national and provincial assembly constituencies.
In the elections to be held on February 8, Hafiz Saeed’s son Talha Saeed is the candidate from National Assembly Assembly seat NA-127.
UN has declared it a terrorist organization
Hafiz Saeed is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba. His organization has also been declared a terrorist organization by the United Nations. He has been in jail since 2019 after being found guilty in multiple cases.
Not only this, America has declared a reward of 10 million US dollars on him. Jamaat ud Dawa led by Hafiz Saeed, which is the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba, is banned.
The same organization had carried out the Mumbai attacks in 2008, in which 166 people were killed. Six Americans were also among the dead.
chair is election symbol
The election symbol of Hafiz Saeed’s party is the chair. PMML President Khalid Masood Sindhu has said that his party is contesting on several national and provincial seats.
Sindhu said that her party is contesting the elections to serve the people and make Pakistan an Islamic welfare state.
Sindhu herself is preparing to contest against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from Pakistan’s NA-130 Lahore seat.
However, while talking to news agency PTI, he denied any connection between the party and Hafiz Saeed.
