Beijing,
\nChina on Thursday dismissed as “shocking” and “baseless” a media report that President Xi Jinping has asked Pakistan to explore ways to relocate JuD chief Hafiz Saeed to a West Asian country amid mounting international pressure to act against him for his links with terror groups.<\/p>\n
According to the report, a close aide of Pakistan Prime Minister said that Xi made the suggestion to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi during their meeting on the sidelines of the Boao Forum in China last month.<\/p>\n
Reacting to it, Chinese Foriegn Ministry spokesperson’s office today said the report that Xi has asked Abbasi to relocate the Pakistan-based Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief to a West Asian country was “shocking and baseless”.<\/p>\n
“It is shocking and baseless that’s all we can say,” the official told PTI here.<\/p>\n
Saeed carries a US$ 10 million American bounty for his role in terror activities. He is the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people, including six US nationals, were killed.<\/p>\n
The JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT), which is responsible for carrying out the Mumbai attack. It has been declared as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US in June 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
