Hafiz Saeed moves court seeking ban on ‘Phantom’ in Pakistan

JuD chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has filed a plea in a court here, seeking ban on the release of Bollywood movie Phantom in Pakistan, alleging that the film, set on post-26/11 attacks and global terrorism, contains “filthy propaganda” against the country.

In the petition filed in the Lahore High Court yesterday, Saeed, through his advocate A K Dogar, pleaded that the Saif Ali Khan-<g data-gr-id="10">starrer</g> film, which is scheduled to release on August 28, has “venom against Pakistan and Jamaat-<g data-gr-id="11">ud</g>-Dawa”.

“The film is about the 2008 Mumbai attack and global terrorism implicating the JuD. Filthy propaganda has been done in the film against Pakistan under <g data-gr-id="14">subject</g> of the world terrorism,” he alleged.
