Mumbai terror attacks mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed has been placed under house arrest. This was reported by Pakistan media quoting sources in Punjab’s provincial government. In a video message issued before his arrest, Saeed blamed the bonhomie between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump for the latest action. He also asked his followers to raise the issue of Kashmir during Kashmir Solidarity Day, observed every year in Pakistan on February 5, and said that he was not afraid of being arrested. Saeed says in the message that his arrest was the result of pressure from India given his advocacy of the Kashmir issue and Balochistan. JuD spokesperson Yahya Mujahid was quoted by Reuters as saying that Pakistan’s Punjab police arrived at the organisation’s headquarters in Lahore with orders to place Saeed under house arrest. There was no official confirmation from Pakistan on his arrest, but Indian government sources said they were monitoring the development.
