United States calls for Pakistan to arrest and charge recently freed Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed, reports ANI, quoting Reuters. "US is deeply concerned that Hafiz Seed has been released from house arrest in Pakistan. The Pakistani government should make sure he is arrested and charged for his crimes," the US Dept of State Spokesperson Heather Nauert.


Hours after his release from house arrest, Mumbai attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed gave an hour-long Friday sermon at the JuD headquarters in Lahore, accusing the Pakistan government of taking "dictation from foreign masters" to appease India.


A large number of JuD activists had gathered at the Jamia Masjid Al-Qadsia. After Friday prayers, the charged workers greeted Saeed on his release and renewed their pledge for "Kashmir Jihad".


Saeed in his speech also targeted the Pakistani government for "taking dictation from foreign masters" and spoke of "Indian atrocities" in Kashmir. He told his supporters the "reasons" behind his 10-month detention, and also as to why Nawaz Sharif was ousted as prime minister. -- PTI
