Lahore:Mumbai attack mastermind and Jammat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, on Friday, chided Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government for detaining Jaish-e-Mohammad chief and activists in connection with the Pathankot terror attack.

Addressing the Friday sermon at JuD headquarters here, Saeed said that the Pakistan government is taking action against JeM to “please” India.

He went on to say that the Pakistani government is ignoring “national interest” for the sake of its friendship with India.

Pakistani news analysts also weren’t spared his criticism for appreciating the government for arrests made in connection with the January 2 attack on an Indian airbase in Pathankot.
