Pakistan court dismisses plea challenging Hafiz Saeed's detention.



A Pakistani court today dismissed a petition challenging the detention of Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed.
Lahore High Court Justice Erum Sajjad Gull dismissed the petition filed by a senior lawyer on 'technical' ground after hearing the arguments.
The court observed the petitioner had not furnished the impugned notification of Saeed’s detention.
Interestingly, during the hearing, Saeed's counsel advocate A K Dogar appeared before the judge and requested not to give any 'adverse judgement' in this case.
He said Saeed is filing a separate petition this week to challenge his "illegal" detention.
The habeas corpus petition filed by senior advocate Sarfraz Hussain contended the JuD chief has been put under "illegal" detention by manoeuvring the anti-terrorism law.
"The government has detained Saeed citing a resolution of the United Nations Security Council. But the UNSC’s resolution for plebiscite in Kashmir has not yet been implemented. The government has detained him at the behest of the foreign masters," he said.
Hussain said there has been no nexus with the anti-terrorism laws which are manoeuvred by the respondent (federal and provincial governments) to curtail the liberty of a Pakistani citizen (Saeed) on the behest of the foreign mission and UNSC resolution.
He said Saeed has made the Kashmir issue alive.
The petitioner prayed to the court to accept the petition instantly and "set Saeed at liberty in the larger interest of justice, equity and fair play to meet the ends of justice".
The government on January 30 placed Saeed and four other members of JuD and Falah-e-Insanyat under house arrest for a period of three months invoking Section 11EEE of Anti-Terrorism Act 1997.

The names of Saeed and 37 other JuD and FIF leaders have also been placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) barring them from leaving the country.

China on Tuesday unveiled its J-20 stealth fighter jet at its biggest air show which will have major implications for India as it is the first indigenously-made fifth-generation Chinese aircraft which Pakistan has shown interest in acquiring. Two J-20 aircraft which made waves in the Chinese media in the last few years flew at the Zhuhai city air show where the Pakistan Air Force is also taking part flying with its J-17 Thunder jets which are jointly manufactured with China. This is the first, public show of the J-20 warplane. Pakistan, the largest importer of Chinese arms has said earlier that it is in talks with China to buy the FC-31 - an export variant of the same aircraft. The FC-31 was briefly flown in the 2014 Zhuhai airshow. The stealth aircraft is regarded as major breakthrough for China which is otherwise mostly reliant on Russian aircraft including advanced versions of Sukhois. India is yet to make stealth aircraft which can penetrate through enemy radars. The J

Jammu is up in arms against the authorities. This time, it is not against discriminatory policies being pursued by the successive Kashmir-dominated and Valley-centric governments in Jammu & Kashmir since 1947, but against the settlement of Rohingyas from Myanmar in Jammu and Ladakh, both strategically vital for national security. According to the late Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the number of Rohingya Muslims living in different parts of Jammu city and around it, was 5,107 in 2010 (AINS, 10 October 2015).
