Jamat-ud-Dawa leader Hafiz Saeed held an anti India-US rally in Islamabad. The rally was to protest the killing of the Taliban Chief, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor in a US military drone attack.
The rally was held at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is en route to USA for his fourth official visit. Strategic experts believe that killing of Mansoor is a move by the US to bully Islamabad to uproot the Taliban ‘safe havens’ in Pakistan.
Yet, India’s ‘most wanted terrorist’ Hafiz Saeed (who has a bounty of $10 million on his head sponsored by US and a UN declared ‘terrorist’) is free to organise rallies on the streets of Pakistan’s capital. Why can’t the US ‘bully’ Pakistan to reign him in?
