Hafiz Sayeed, the proclaimed International Terrorist, got a severe jolt when his political dream, a camouflage of his expanded terror activities, the Milli Muslim League (MML) was designated as a foreign terrorist organization. MML is the political front of Pakistan based Mumbai attack mastermind led Jamaat -ud-Dawa.
In a simultaneous move, seven members of the MML’s central leadership body have been designated as foreign terrorists. Hafeez, with an eye on the elections of Pakistan has worn an alibi of political wrap to hoodwink the people around. Elections in Pakistan are scheduled to be held in July and the heart rending Mumbai attack mastermind Hafeez wants to lend political strength in a proper way to his terror maneuverings.
The US also added Tehreek-e-Azadi-e-Kashmir (TAJK) to the list of terrorist groups as TAJK is said to be a front of the Lashar-e-Toiba (LeT), which according to Trump administration, continues to operate freely inside Pakistan. The US move is perfectly timed and coincides with the date by the Election Commission of Pakistan asking the MML to produce a clearance certificate by the Interior Ministry for its registration as a political party. It may be recalled that the Election Commission had earlier rejected the MML’s application for registration as a political party after the Interior Ministry objected to its ties to banned terror outfits.
