The Lahore High Court on Monday ordered the case against Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind behind the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to be disposed off, saying the country's anti-terror laws did not apply to him.
Saeed's lawyer A K Dogar said the case against his client was weak as it lacked credible evidence.
"There is no evidence against Saeed. My client was wrongly accused of terror," Dogar told a private news television channel.
He added that all notions regarding Saeed's involvement in terror activities, and particularly in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, were false.
"He (Saeed) would be the last person to carry out a terror attack," Dogar said.
Dogar also said that he was convinced that there was a difference between the type of Islam the Taliban espousing and what the Jamaat-ud-Daawa (JuD) was promoting, adding that those who followed Islam with piety and humility, including the Taliban would soon see the benefit of joining hands with the JuD and end their terrorist and insurgent ways.
