Terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed 'makes move into politics' | Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, who has a 10 million dollar US bounty on his head, has made his informal entry in the political arena by moving the Lahore High Court (LHC) against Pakistan's corruption-riddled and profligate ruling elite through his first ever 'political-focused' petition. Sources claimed that JuD leadership has made up
its mind to get involved in political-oriented issues step-by-step and the DPC
forum was one part of the well-devised strategic chain of political agenda, reports
the Daily Times. According to sources, the JuD would either itself participate
in the upcoming elections by setting up a new political party, having a separate
political tag under the umbrella of JuD or play a decisive role by actively supporting
like-minded religious-cum-political parties, including Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
(PML-N) or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. JuD central leadership, activists and sympathisers
have been vigorously persuading Saeed to announce his formal decision to participate
in politics, sources said. Although he has agreed to their suggestions, he is
of the view that people across the world will not easily accept his immediate
stepping into politics, they added. Sources said that Saeed was against the democratic
system and never bothered to enlist his name in voting list. They added that the
petition against the corrupt and profligate politicians would get the support
of the public alongside their ongoing long march against the restoration of NATO
supplies. Like other religious hardliners, Saeed strongly believed that Pakistan
's failure to adopt an Islamic constitution was owing to Western style democracy,
but the recent upheaval in Middle East has given an opportunity to Islamic parties
to form government through ballot, they added.
