Here’s The Evidence on Hafiz Saeed
PKKH Exclusive | by Tabish Qayyum
The US has been generous enough to announce a hefty $10 million bounty for information leading to Hafiz Saeed’s conviction. After the embarrassment the Americans faced by announcing a reward for collecting information about someone who lives like any free human being without any court-admissible evidence, I felt the need to enlighten them with some hard-hitting, and much needed, evidence.
Listed below is what I found after a great deal of research. Some of the figures quoted are mentioned in media reports while a great deal of the record has been shared by JuD themselves, which they claim can be independently verified.
- Education
Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) runs 140 schools throughout Pakistan, most of which offer free education to orphans and the less privileged. Free uniforms and books are also provided to the students who are unable to afford these. They also run four colleges along with few technical education institutes offering basic skills needed to work. Thousands of students are enrolled in all of their educational institutes.
- Medical facilities
JuD has managed to build hospitals in Muridke, Balakot, Manserha, Muzaffarabad, Lahore, Gujranwala, Karachi and Hyderabad, most of them with state-of–the-art medical equipment. Their medical department possesses a 98 ambulance fleet along with dozens of blood-banks and laboratories. Free medicines are provided in hundreds of mobile dispensaries, which operate on a regular basis. The total number of patients they provide health care to reaches up to hundreds and thousands each month.
- Water program
Water shortage in the desert areas of Sindh and Balochistan has been a severe problem for many years. JuD’s water program has drilled wells and provided hand-pumps to the drought-hit areas of Balochistan and Sindh in recent years.
- Disaster management
1) The 2005 earthquake: JuD was the first organisation to reach the affected areas, equipped with boats, mules, and thousands of workers who trekked and rescued people from the highest peaks in Kashmir. Millions were provided with cooked meals, thousands were rescued, families were given provision on monthly basis, tent villages were formed, and their aid distribution network and survey earned them the trust of many international aid organizations. Shelters and Houses were provided in the rehabilitation phase that continued for years.
2) The 2008 Ziarat earthquake: Balochistan saw its worst disaster in many years. Again, JuD responded with specifically engineered shelters, rescue, aid, and warm clothes for extreme temperatures. Iron sheets were extensively provided for re-building homes.
3) The 2010 floods: In the face of Pakistan’s worst floods for decades,JuD rescued many people, provided cooked meals round the clock. They set up numerous medical camps providing medical assistance to many. Moreover, families were provided with monthly provision packs and tents and shelters were provided to affected families. Hundreds of Houses were re-constructed in the rehabilitation phase. Hindus have also rallied in JuD’s support at times during the relief efforts.
4) The 2011 floods: Once again, JuD was out there in the water on their motor boat rescue service. The Pakistan Army and JuD were the only two entities that were providing rescue services according to live accounts and media reports.
- Orphans and widow program
JuD provides monthly provisions and cash donations to more than 40,000 orphans and widows. Moreover these widows are provided with job opportunities and relevant skills. Orphans are given free education.
- Political and national issues and JuD’s response
JuD does not participate in the electoral process as they consider the western democratic model to be incompatible as a governance system to the ground realities of Pakistan. Despite that, JuD has worked to unite different sects, has arranged events in coordination with different sects to promote unity. They have spoken about the illegalconstruction of dams by India blocking the flow of water into Pakistani rivers, in violation of bilateral agreements. They haveprotested peacefully against the caricatures of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in the Western press, and morally support the freedom struggles in Indian occupied Kashmir as well as in Afghanistan.
- De-radicalisation and anti-terror propagation
JuD has assisted the government of Punjab in their de-radicalisation program. It has always condemned suicide attacks, killings of civilians, and radicalisation in their routine propagation activities. They have intensively researched and professed very scholarly and insightful arguments on the ethics of jihad in the contemporary world, which condemns all kinds of violence and terrorism.
- Formation of Difa-e-Pakistan Council
The formation of the DPC and its massive rallies protesting plans to reopen Nato supply routes is said to be the main driving force behind the US putting head money for Hafiz Saeed -the major contributor to DPC cause of blocking Nato supplies and bringing the drone campaign to an end.
Hafiz Saeed, has recently written a letter to Pakistani Parliamentarians who are reviewing the terms and conditions of the supplies, not only the religious, but minority representatives who have also joined with the DPC at their gatherings.
My reward?
Since I have brought up ‘convictable’ evidence, I can justifiably claim the reward.
US policy makers have terrorised the world and made a mockery of justice, especially during the last decade.
With the blood of millions on their hands, they deserve no right to bully individuals who have never asked for anything from the people they serve except for the famous phrase that every JuD cadre humbly asks for:
“Duaon mein yaad rakhiyay ga”

you people (JuD and likes) have no expertise in global economics, you can’t survive without American Aid, we and our future generations owe billions to them. How easy it is to go out there and make hateful speeches but no solutions on day to day matters of life. you eat halwa and bakra, but you want people to eat grass so you can claim an outdated model of govenance based on 9th century politics of stabbing each other in the back.
Allahu Akbar
Brilliantly slapped; a tight slap on the filthy faces of terrorist US policy makers; the lowliest organism.
Every true Musliman and patriotic Pakistani is a JuD cadre. May we all serve in this humble and so unique outstanding organisation.
Hafiz Saeed has all the support of every true Musliman and patriotic Pakistani. Loser US/NATO certainly is on the last legs; let her bark, even if she likes barking in loser KAFIR hindu indian tone.
Well written!!!
How about a lie detector test? Simple and efficient
@anonymous and what if the lie detector test comes out negative?? what then?? back to lies and propaganda
why the US wants his head: he’s against the reopening the supply lines and against the war on terror in general.
why India wants his head: he speaks out against the illegal occupation of kashmir by india, the attrocities committed over there by india and b/c he supports the kashmiri struggle for freedom from india. oh and lets not forget that india is the zionists loyal lapdog.
@ 321
You are again thinking in reverse direction. You can not sleep without cursing India, It seems. Hafiz is a criminal and works against India’s interest and is deeply involved in terrorist activities in India and Kashmir. He is well supported by ISI and Pakistan govt which want to avenge Bangladesh liberation from Pakistan in 1971.
@gotya
As the Indians can’t sleep without pointing fingers at Pakistan, ISI and Hafiz Saeed, so does Pakistanis can’t sleep without discussing the atrocities of India.
Why Pakistan hands over Hafiz Saeed when India cannot present any single incriminating evidence against him that he is involved in mumbai attacks in anyway.
Thanks to Indians, the American have faced humiliataion for announcing at $10 million “Bounty for Information” against Hafiz Saeed. The US citizens are criticizing their own authorities as why American Tax payers should pay for evidence against Hafiz Saeed. Such humiliations is destined for every nation that side with Indians.
Hafiz Saeed has assisted the government of Pakistan in their de-radicalisation program, as pointed out in this article.

India should stop blaming and demanding unlawful custody of innocent Pakistani civilians. We are under no obligation to collaborate with India if we are to blamed for the crime we didn’t commit.
Pakistan’s peaceful ties with Bangladesh is enough proof that Pakistan has no hard feelings for Bangladesh. So stop lying about intentions of Pakistan!
how am i thinking backwards again? (its backwards, not “reverse direction”…) how is hafiz a criminal and involved in terrorist activities? india has not provided any credible proof to support their views. it seems the only activities india he’s involved in is supporting the kashmiris for their right to self-determination. is that a crime? is supporting human rights a crime now? india is just as hypocritical as the west. they support human rights only when it suits their imperial interests. im not cursing india. im only exposing the truth. if ure too blind to see that or too arrogant to admit the truth then its not my problem.
Very good picture of right hand palm of Mr Hafiz Saeed of Pakistan. As a good palmist or hand reader, I can predict few points from his right palm.
1. His lines of heart and head are joined ( which are normally not in ordinary and commn persons) which makes him extremely determined and bold in decision. He is terribly fanatic as well.
2. He is lucky in his mission and money is no problem for him. Less effort and huge money in his life.( May be b/c of ISI and Pakistan/ muslim world support.)
3. He has a long life , minimum up to 75 years.
4. He has a good health and will not be arrested or assassinated in coming 10 years, let US say anything about it.
5 I think he has less world travel and likes to stick up to Pakistan only( where he is well guarded).
6. His head line is short indicating that he is short-tempered and becomes angry for a small irritation.
7. Mount of Jupiter is large indicating his dominance over others. He can very well brainwash and influence others easily, specially uneducated persons.
Looks like Hafiz Saeed slapped you so hard that he left his hand print on your face!!! WOW!!
hahahaha thst the best comment ive read in ages!!!
We indians do not bother about this so called Hafiz at all. It is his personality which is projected from his palm. Idiots like you are influenced by mentor like Hafiz. We will never allow such a creature on indian soil. Kashmir was and will ever remain part of India in coming 100 years, despite such barking Hafizs.We will be enjoying in Dal lake of Srinagar in winter and you keep climbing K2.
….. it looks like he’s saying – I w*nk with this hand. It’s good fun. I can w*nk you off too. The Amreekis want me to w*nk them with the other hand…. the dirty one. I no w*nky w*nky….
@ anonymous dirty, filthy perverted mind its becoming a common theme for you indians is there any decent person left in india???!!!
Honestly, these indians that still haven’t caught onto RAW’s complicity in the mumbai terror attacks are worse than the noobs that think the CIA wasn’t in on 9/11 haha
Keep living in your bubble while the rest of the globe accompanies us on the awakening. (Barring some of the middle eastern “awakenings” lol)
Indian army is daily crushing such terrorists in Kashmir and their supporters in the valley. Let us see how your govt and ISI can save Hafiz Mohd Saeed from clutches of US and India.
crushing terrorists…more like committing attrocities against the kashmiris.
