Hafiz Saeed still free

Report from TOI :
Pak court indefinitely adjourns trial against 26/11 mastermind

GoI waits with bated breadth.

• The apex court's direction comes two days after India said there was "enough evidence" to continue investigation against the Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) chief in connection with the 26/11 attacks.

Hafiz still remains free.. Oh.. this time there is a perfectly valid reason : AG resigns. There seems to be a reason all the time.

• Sources said the move was apparently linked to the resignation of Punjab's Advocate General Raza Farooq on Sunday, who was representing the provincial government in the hearings.
  The provincial government sought time from the apex court to appoint a new Advocate General and asked for the hearing to be adjourned, sources said.
• Saeed is a 'free' man according to his lawyer A K Dogar. The case hearing was adjourned immediately on being taken up, according to Dogar. The shocking development comes despite India's submission of an additional dossier with evidence of Hafiz Saeed's involvement in 26/11, which was expected to tighten the state's case against him.
• Speaking to the media after Monday's hearing, Dogar said, "He will continue as free man, he can do whatever he likes. He is doing his duties at the second most important mosque in the country. I tell the whole country, Saeed opened 160 schools from sources of JuD, 52 madrasaas and 4 universities. I am elated to hear recently that a girl from the JuD Girls' High school, topped the list of all the boards."

After ton of literature, there is still no obvious link.

• Asked about the reports of a fourth dossier that India had provided recently, Dogar said, "Rehman Malik (Pakistani interior minister) who now calls all the shots in the country on these security matters - made a positive statement reported on July 28 - saying 'We have no evidence with us that Hafiz or JuD is in any manner connected with Mumbai attacks.'"

We continue to provide dossiers, which will likely be used to plug holes in their strategy.

• India responded to the latest queries from Pakistan on Saturday (August 1) over 26/11 by sending certified copies of Lashkar terrorist Ajmal Kasab’s confession and interrogation reports of LeT operatives Fahim Ansari and Sahabuddin Ahmed as part of a seven-page response. The communication is said to have sufficient evidence - as home minister P Chidambaram said this week - for Pakistan to proceed against the Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed.

GoI hangs on to a non-existent ray of hope as discussed in Shame at Sharm-el-Shiekh.

Mantra should be : Forget resuming talks. Focus on economy, get manufacturing going and build your fences. Talks can resume after 2017 (when Obama is out)
