In a bid to put pressure on United Nations to take action against Hafiz Saeed, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief, over 1,000 Muslim clerics have passed a resolution that he be punished for his involvement in anti-India” activities.
They passed a resolution to this effect at a gathering on Thursday, a cleric said, adding more than 1,000 Muslim clerics and imams supported the motion.
The resolution, which also denounces the JuD along with several other Pakistan-based terror outfits, has been forwarded to the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee with a copy marked to the Prime Minister's Office, said Abdur Rahman Anjaria, head of city-based NGO Islamic Defence Cyber Cell.
Anjaria, who introduced the resolution said, "Hafiz Saeed and the terror outfits he heads are threat to global peace. He calls India enemy No. 1 but he is the enemy of Islam and humanity."
"Apart from demanding action against the India-hater from the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee, we have apprised the PMO about the same," he told.
