‘Saeed turns down Pak request to limit his public appearances’
Lashkar-e-Tayyeba founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed has turned down a “request” from the Pakistan Government to limit his public appearances and activities after the US announced a $10 million bounty for him, according to a media report on Tuesday.
Government agencies had “advised” Saeed not to participate in public rallies for the time being, unnamed associates of Saeed were quoted as saying by The Express Tribune newspaper.
PML-N leader Pervez Rasheed, the spokesman for the Government of Punjab province, said he was not aware of any such request made by authorities. Saeed’s aides claimed the suggestion was made because the Government fears the Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief’s continued appearances might draw a “hostile reaction” from the US.
