The Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, is continuing with its ‘hate India campaign’ as it held a massive protest rally in Lahore against the granting of Most Favoured Nation (MFN) trade status to India by the Pakistan government.
JuD top brass including Ameer Hamza, Hasnain Siddique and Hafiz Khalid Waleed headed the rally and called for launching of more protests to oppose the move to grant India MFN status.
JuD, which has been linked to militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) also slammed Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar for initiating dialogue with India.
Hitting out at Khar, a JuD leader said, “How can this 33-year-old girl know anything about the 63-year-old Pakistan”.
On Nov 2, Pakistan granted MFN status to India, reciprocating a 15-year-old gesture.
Trade between India and Pakistan, currently at around USD 2.5 billion, is expected to double over the next three years on account of Pakistan granting MFN status to India.
