Mystery why Pakistan is treated as 'major non-Nato ally' when it's anything but: US think tank president
Saturday, November 25, 2017 IST
NEW DELHI: A day after global terrorist Hafiz Saeed was freed from house arrest , the president of an influential think tank said it's a "mystery" why Pakistan is still considered a 'major non-Nato' ally "when it's anything but" that.
Richard Haass, president of the prestigious think tank Council on Foreign Relations, also tweeted saying Pakistan has "harbored terrorists for years and provides sanctuary to the Taliban" and others, including Saeed, on whose head the US has placed a $10 million bounty.
Haass says on Twitter "opinions my own", about any comments he posts on the microblogging site. But his position as president of the Council on Foreign Relations - called "the nation's most influential foreign-policy think tank" by Inter Press Service News Agency - means his "own opinions" aren't to be sneezed at.
Saeed, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief, moments after his release yesterday said he will gather people across Pakistan for the "cause of Kashmir" and help Kashmiris secure "freedom". The man designated a terrorist even by the United Nations then cut cakes amid joyous and raucous celebrations by his supporters. The JuD chief and founder of the banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is now back to roaming free all over Pakistan, spreading hate and fomenting terror like he's done before. Saeed addressing huge rallies with supporters screaming every time he exhorts murder and terror will again become a common occurrence in Pakistan.
