New Delhi, Aug 4 Taking cognizance of reports in a section of Pakistan media that Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed could enter politics, India today said that such individuals could "hide his blood-stained hands behind the ballot ink" ".......such an individual is perhaps wanting to hide his blood-stained hands behind the ballot ink or the person who has traded in bullets to take human lives is trying to hide behind ballots," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Gopal Baglay told reporters in weekly media briefing here. “The person who has traded in bullets to take human lives, is he trying to hide behind ballot, that is a matter of concern," Mr Baglay said. A section of Pakistani media has reported that Saeed, who is reportedly under house arrest, has changed the name of his organisation to Milli Muslim League Pakistan and is planning to approach the Election Commission of Pakistan to register his party. According to reports, the Punjab government in Pakistan on July 31 issued a notification to extend the house arrest of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed for two more months. Ironically, Jamat-ud-Dawah is supposed to be the 'charitable wing' of the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. "They have been carrying out terrorist activities not only against India but against others in the region and it has been a matter of concern not only for us but for the entire region and beyond," Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said. Mr Baglay further said: "It is Pakistan's obligation obviously to make sure that such individuals and organisations are not able to enjoy any freedom to conduct terrorist activities and the international obligations which Pakistan has and the international sanctions on these individuals and organisations are enforced 100 per cent". The developments in Pakistan are significant as former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been disqualified by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. UNI
