Three FIRs — two against Saeed and one against Abu Jandal — were registered at police stations in Faisalabad, about 100 km from Lahore, for inciting people to wage “jehad” (holy war) against “infidels”, said a senior police officer.

The officer, who did not wish to be identified, said Saeed had attended Iftar-dinners and held a meeting with activists of his banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah organisation on August 27 and 28 during which he asked the people to wage a jehad.

The police action against Saeed came days ahead of a proposed meeting between the foreign ministers and foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York.
