Mosques, seminaries linked to Hafiz Saeed sealed in Pakistan's KP province

Hafiz Saeed

Days after Pakistan's Punjab government locked 2008 Mumbai blasts mastermind Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat ud-Dawa (JuD) offices, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government on Saturday sealed the offices, seminaries, and mosques related to the terrorist's newly formed political party and its humanitarian wing Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF).

Peshawar's district administration, police, and other law enforcement agencies sealed the JuD's offices and took over the party's operational matters after receiving directions from the federal government, Dawn News reported.

"We have sealed the offices of the foundation, three religious schools, and two mosques and handed over the seized properties to the Auqaf department to look after operational matters," a senior official said.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has sanctioned and listed Al-Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, JuD, FiF and other organisations as terror sponsors.
