In her letter, Naela Quadri Baloch said Musharraf's statement on LeT and JuD "redirects our attention to the centrality of the Pakistani state to global terrorism." These two groups were founded by Hafiz Saeed, who was designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the United States Department of the Treasury in May 2008. The latest statement of the former dictator of Pakistan, Retired General Pervez Musharraf, redirects our attention to the centrality of the Pakistani state to global terrorism. An example of the misplaced priorities and perverted logic of the Pakistani state during his tenure (that persists until this day) is in order. The U.S Department of State should designate the former dictator of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGTs) under Executive Order (E.O.)
