Terrorist Muhammad Hafiz Saeed, a designated terrorist by India and even proscribed by the UN, made his son fight te current elections in Pakistan. His son Talha Saeed has lost out to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed Latif Khosa from Lahore’s NA 122 seat.

The Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique got 77907 votes, as per local media reports. It clearly shows that common people in Pakistan do not support terrorism. Its only the Pakistani Governing establishment which has been supporting terrorism for its own benefit.
Hafiz Saeed, the founder of the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is the mastermind of the deadly 26/11 attacks in Mumbai and is wanted in India in numerous cases. Now the time has come to make him pay for his sins.
