The chief of a Pakistani Islamic charity, who was added by the United Nations Security Council to a list of people facing sanctions for links with al-Qaida and the Taliban, Thursday announced to challenge the decision in the International Court of Justice.
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, chief of Jamaat-ud-Daawa, rejected the UN decision and said it was taken in haste and without listening to him while addressing a press conference.
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Haji Muhammad Ashraf and Mohammad Ahmed Bahaziq, are “subject to the assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo,” set out in Security Council resolution 1822 of 2008, said the al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee on Wednesday.
The above-mentioned names belong to the banned “Lashkar-e-Taiba” group which has been blamed by India for the Mumbai attacks, which killed nearly 180 people and injured over 300 others.
The Security Council panel also said that the charity Jamaat-ud-Daawa was a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba and subject to sanctions.
“We will seek relief from Pakistani courts and will also approach International Court of Justice,” Hafiz Saeed told a news conference.
“The ban has been imposed on India’s behest. It is an attack on Islam and religious group and also on Pakistan,” he said.
“They are trying to put ban on Islamic charity and we have the right to respond to the propaganda against us,” Saeed said.
He denied involvement in the Mumbai attacks and said that India should provide evidence to courts and he would appear before the courts.

First of all Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is not involve in any terrorist activity, there is no case or and any other thing on the record in Pakistan which is against him and his Organization. So the country who are claiming for them, have to prove that in any court with evidence (if they have). Otherwise the civilised society from all over the world will consider these attempts False and baseless to declaring Jamat-ud-Dawa as a terrorist organization.
