India on Friday said Pakistan was mainstreaming terrorism by allowing terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed to register a political party.
Speaking to the media, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Saeed had the blood of the innocent citizens of the world on his hands.
“This basically completely exposes Pakistan’s duplicity in taking action against terrorists and terror groups that are operating out of Pakistani soil. He is the prime organiser of the Mumbai terror attacks. Pakistan is mandated under UN law to take action against Hafiz Saeed, but instead...there is an attempt by the Pakistani establishment to mainstream him and his system as a political party,” the spokesperson said.
India’s strong response came a day after a court in Islamabad ordered the Pakistan Election Commission to register Saeed’s newly floated organisation Milli Muslim League as a political party.
“The true face of Hafiz Saeed & Pakistan is for all to see. Not only India but also the entire international community feels that the action which should be taken against Hafiz Saeed is not being taken," he added.
