Unimpressed with Pakistan’s well-publicised crackdown on Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed and his 12 aides, India on Thursday stressed that the action on terror financing appeared to be an effort to hoodwink the international community. The counter-terror unit of Pakistan’s Punjab had yesterday filed nearly two dozen cases against terror groups for terror financing and there were reports on Thursday that Hafiz Saeed might be arrested. “Let us not get fooled by these cosmetic steps. FATF also called for the prosecution of those involved in terror financing. “As the FIRs have been registered the suspects will be arrested shortly,” Punjab police spokesperson Niyab Haider Naqvi told news agency PTI.
