Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed on Friday made his first public appearance after he was freed from house arrest and led a rally in Lahore to launch a countrywide campaign against US President Donald Trump\u2019s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
The Jammat-ud-Dawah chief, who carries a bounty of $10 million, was released from a 10-month-long house arrest on November 24 by the Pakistan government.<\/p>\n
Saeed said the Defence Council Pakistan will send its delegations to Muslim countries and convince them not to open their embassies in Jerusalem as he led the rally outside the JuD headquarters in Chauburji after the Friday prayers.<\/p>\n
The banned JuD, believed to be the front organisation for the Lashkar-e-Taiba which carried out the 2008 Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people were killed, is an active member of the DCP.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny Muslim country if opens its consulate in Jerusalem should be barred from opening their embassies in the Muslim countries,\u201d Saeed suggested.<\/p>\n
He said the Muslim countries should unite against the US.<\/p>\n
Saeed said the Pakistani government should immediately convene a session of joint parliament to discuss the Jerusalem announcement and make a strategy regarding it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince Pakistan is a nuclear power, it should lead the Muslim world. It should convene an Islamic summit and give a befitting response to the Trump administration,\u201d he said, adding that the world should also raise the issue of Kashmir along with Palestine.<\/p>\n
Saeed has called a meeting of the DCP to discuss the Jerusalem\u2019s capital announcement of Trump.<\/p>\n
Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital on Wednesday, reversing decades of US and international policy on the holy city.<\/p>\n
A number of JuD workers participated in the rally, chanting anti-US and anti-India slogans.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will gather the people and launch an organised campaign against the US on the issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
A Lahore high court\u2019s Judicial Review Board unanimously ordered Saeed\u2019s release on November 24 after the government failed to provide any evidence related to terrorism or otherwise before it.<\/p>\n
After his release, Saeed vowed to continue fighting for Kashmiris. He had alleged that the US, on India\u2019s request, was putting pressure Pakistan to detain him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
