PAK-SAEED 2LST

The JuD chief and his aide were also booked for
anti-government remarks in speeches made by them during a
visit to Faisalabad on August 27 and 28.

Saeed had highlighted the importance of jehad in his
speeches to his followers and also sought donations from his
proscribed organisation.

Though it initially appeared that Saeed and Jandal
would formally be arrested and indicted in fresh cases, SSP
Shafiq Ahmed clarified that the "police usually do not proceed
in such cases".

At the same time, Saeed has challenged the two FIRs
registered against him through a petition submitted to the
Lahore High Court.

He argued in his petition that preaching jehad was "no
crime" and the cases had been registered against him due to
"pressure of India and the US".

The High Court will take up the petition on October
