The United States has called for Hafiz Saeed’s prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law”, following Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s remark that no action could be taken against the UN-designated terrorist.
Abbasi, during an interview to Geo TV on Tuesday, referred to Saeed as ‘sahib’ or ‘sir’.
“There is no case against Hafiz Saeed sahib in Pakistan. Only when there is a case can there be action,” Abbasi said when asked why there was no action against Saeed.
Reacting strongly to the comments, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said the US believes that Saeed should be prosecuted and they have told Pakistan as much.
