Offshoot of banned JuD starts political action in Pak

After a break of some five months, the political offshoot of banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) of the Mumbai terror attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed has resumed its political activities in Pakistan by holding a demonstration here in Punjab province.

Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), believed to be the new face of the banned groups of Saeed, held a demonstration against inflation and increase in electricity and gas prices against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government in Lahore on Friday. The protest was addressed by Tabiah Qayyum and Muzammil Iqbal Hashmi who were added to the US' list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists in 2018.
