'Will not allow destruction of temples in Pakistan': JuD chief Hafiz Saeed sings strange tune

Islamabad: Chief of Pakistan’s banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), Hafiz Saeed, has said his organisation will not allow destruction of Hindu temples and other holy places of non-Muslims in the country. It was Muslims’ responsibility to safeguard holy places of their Hindus brethren, he said while addressing a meeting in Matli town of Sindh province yesterday. “We will not allow destruction of temples and other holy places of non-Muslims in the country,” he warned.

Saeed also pledged support for Kashmiri Muslims, according to a Dawn report. He said that the law enforcement agencies were sincerely trying to fight against anti-state actors and RAW agents, but the Nawaz Sharif government remained silent over it.
