Pakistan is now acting under pressure against JuD chief Hafiz Saeed after the US threatened it with sanctions and the 2008 Mumbai terror attack mastermind should be arrested and prosecuted as his detention is "meaningless", BJP MP RK Singh on Friday said.
"Pakistan is definitely acting under pressure. It was warned that if it does not act, then it will be blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force. Pakistan was against the Security Council Resolutions (SCR). SCR had named JuD as terrorist organisation and Hafiz Saeed as terrorist.
“US had kept a reward on his (Hafiz) head as well. The US threatened Pakistan with sanctions which is why Pakistan took these steps,” said former home secretary Singh.
