New Delhi: Hafiz Talha, the son of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has been declared as a designated terrorist by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
The MHA stated that Hafiz Talha Saeed is a senior leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfit and head of the cleric wing of the LeT.
“He is actively involved in recruitment, fund collection, planning and executing attacks by LeT in India and Indian interests in Afghanistan,” said a notification issued by the ministry on Friday.
“Talha Saeed has been actively visiting various LeT centres across Pakistan and during his sermons propagating for jihad against India, Israel, United States of America and Indian interests in other western countries. The Central government believes that Hafiz Talha Saeed is involved in terrorism and should be notified as a terrorist under the UAPA,” explained the notification.
Earlier on Friday, Talha’s father Saeed — the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief and co-founder of LeT — was handed a 31-year prison sentence by a Pakistan anti-terrorism court.
