Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed on May 16 sent legal
notices to two journalists for publishing
news about his alleged meeting with
United States (US) Ambassador to Pakistan
Cameron Munter, reported Daily
Times. Saeed served the notices
on columnist Nazir Naji and reporter
Amir Mir and sought PKR 100 million
in damages. The notices contend that
Naji’s column in an Urdu daily Jang
on May 9, 2012, and Mir’s report on Asia
Times Online website on May 12,
2012, were aimed at tarnishing Saeed’s
image. Naji wrote in his column that
after the US announced a bounty of USD10 million on Saeed “some
extremist elements arranged a secret
meeting between the Lashkar-e-Toiba
(LeT) founder and Munter”. |
