Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed on Sunday criticised the Nawaz Sharif Government for banning the coverage of his Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) in Pakistani media, claiming it was under the direction of the US that such a step was taken.
“The order to ban the JuD has not come from Islamabad but from Washington,” he said. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority on November 2 had restrained all Pakistani television channels from “all kinds of coverage” of the JuD.
The 66-year-old also questioned the ‘liberal agenda’ Sharif is trying to ‘impose’
in Pakistan for which he is being praised in the Western media, in an apparent reference to a recent Washington Post article.
