despite the UN security councils ban on the outfit in the wake of last months terrorist strike on Mumbai.
The Security Council had on December 10 imposed sanctions on the Jamaat and branded four of its top commanders terrorists, including JuD chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed and LeT operations commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, alleged mastermind of the Mumbai attacks.
This forced Islamabad to crack down on the Jamaat. Saeed was placed under house arrest and the JuDs offices were sealed and bank accounts frozen. But all this appears to have been an eyewash as the interior ministry has told all four provincial governments not to take any action against any of the Jamaat’s 500 seminaries and Dawa model schools — often described by the Western media as training camps and indoctrination centres.
Pakistan’s Foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi confirmed in Paris that Jamaat-run seminaries and schools would continue to function as usual, claiming that there was no evidence to suggest that the outfit was promoting extremism or violence there.
