Pakistan has justified the release of Mumbai terror attack mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, claiming that Islamabad was committed to the implementation of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)sanctions regime on terrorists.
Hafiz Saeed,who was freed by Pakistan onNovember24, is thefounder of the terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba and the head of the Jamaat-ud-Dawah. He has10 million dollars of American bounty on his head for terror activities and is also a UN and US-designated terrorist.
Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said that Pakistan was committed to the implementation of UNSC 1267 sanctions regime and has taken several steps in this regard while responding to the comments made by the MEA.
"The (MEA) spokesperson took exception to self-serving insinuations," Faisal said in a statement issued late last night.
Faisal said that courts in Pakistan, pursuant to their constitutional duty, were determined to uphold rule of law and due process for all citizens of Pakistan.
Legal processes were anchored in rule of law, not dictates of politics and posturing, he added.

"It is in the interest of all States to speak and act in a manner that is consistent with the imperatives of adhering to rule of law at the national and international levels," Faisal said.
He said that Pakistan's resolve, actions, and successes in the fight against terrorism, terrorist violence and terrorists are unmatched in the world.
"Pakistan condemns and opposes all forms of terrorism by any individual or group," Faisal further said.
"Saeed's release confirmed once again the lack of seriousness by the Pakistan government in bringing to justice perpetrators of terrorism, including individuals and entities designated by the UN", said Raveesh Kumar, the spokesperson of Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
"It also appears to be an attempt by the Pakistani system to mainstream proscribed terrorists. Pakistan has not changed its policy of shielding and supporting non-state actors and its true face is visible for all to see," the external affairs ministry spokesperson added.
Hafiz Saeed was under house arrest for 297 days since January.
Saeed's release after midnight came ahead of the 9th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks in which 166 people, including six Americans, were killed.
