    Pakistan bans Jamaat-ud-Dawa's media coverage
  • Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) will no longer get media coverage according to the new law passed in Pakistan.

    This also applies to social networking and internet restrictions

    The ban was imposed as a part of the crackdown on terrorism.

    Pakistan's Interior ministry enforced this embargo under the National Action Plan (NAP) on the "media coverage of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Falah-e-Insaniyat (FIF) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)".

    Additionally even America put a bounty of $10 million Saeed's head and directed Pakistan to restrict his movement and hate speeches in the country.

    Hafiz Saeed was the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai terror attack where 166 people were killed.
