Lahore: The Lahore high court has dismissed a writ petition by Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed seeking to direct the Pakistan government to raise the Kashmir issue at the United Nations Security Council and other international fora. The court announced the verdict on Friday which it had reserved last month after hearing arguments from Saeed’s counsel A.K. In the petition, Saeed said India had been “committing atrocities on Kashmiris and violating the UN resolutions”. Citing different judgements, Dogar said if an issue involves public interest the court can interfere in political and foreign issues. “Indian army is killing innocent Kashmiris but Pakistan government is doing nothing practically except issuing statements,” Dogar said.
