| Punjab seeks to detain Hafiz Saeed |
| 2006-10-23 |
| The political activities of the Jamaatul Daawa chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed have compelled the Punjab government to request the federal government to issue fresh detention orders for the former chief of the Lashkar-e-Taiba after Eid. He is accused of making inflammatory speeches against the US and India. Hafiz Saeed was released on Tuesday on the orders of the Lahore High Court after spending three months in detention. The Punjab government placed Saeed under house arrest in Lahore on August 9. |
