ISLAMABAD: Chief of Jamaat ud Dawa Hafiz Saeed has been placed under house arrest, a spokesperson of Jamaat-ud-Dawa said.
Police arrived at the organisation’s headquarters in Lahore with orders to place him under house arrest, JuD spokesperson Yahya Mujahid said.
Saeed’s continued freedom has been a source of continuing friction between Pakistan and its longtime foe India as well as the United States.
“These steps are being taken to please India,” Mujahid said.
