A new political party named Pakistan Markazi Muslim League, believed to be a new face of the banned groups of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the frontal organisation of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) will participate in the February 8 general elections, India Today quoting BBC Urdu reported on February 5. A BBC Urdu report said some of the candidates nominated by this organisation from different cities of Pakistan are those who are either relatives of Hafiz Saeed or have been associated with the LeT, JuD or Milli Muslim League in the past. Saeed, who has been incarcerated in a jail in Lahore, has been sentenced to a total of 31 years by Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in several cases of financing terrorism. Quoting analysts, who monitor religious parties in Pakistan, the report on February 3 claimed the Markazi Muslim League is the 'new political face' of Saeed's JuD. A spokesman of the party, however, denied any affiliation with Saeed’s organisations. The report said Saeed’s son Hafiz Talha Saeed is participating in the elections from the Markazi Muslim League party and contesting from National Assembly Constituency NA-122 in Lahore -- the same constituency from which Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader and former federal minister Khawaja Saad Rafique is also contesting. Similarly, Saeed’s son-in-law Hafiz Nek Gujjar is contesting the election from the Provincial Assembly constituency PP-162 on the ticket of the Markazi Muslim League.
