New Delhi: Terror outfit Jamaat-ud-Dawa is in business again. According to India's Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon, less than two weeks after it was banned by the United Nations, the Lashkar front is active.
Menon said the Jamaat-ud-Dawa is now operating under a new name.
He also said that the Jamaat has a new website, which is being used to collect money to fund terror activities.
Speaking to the All India Radio, Menon rejected Pakistan's offer of joint investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks on November 26.
He said India has shared evidence with Pakistan several times, but without any results.
Menon added that even the Joint-Anti Terror mechanism set up by India and Pakistan has yielded no results so far.
The Foreign Secretary also demanded credible action by Pakistan against the perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage.
According to news agency Press Trust of India sources, JuD may be planning to rename itself as 'Tehreek-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool' (Movement for defending the honour of the Prophet) to avoid restrictions which Pakistan could be forced to impose on it because of UNSC sanctions.
The indication that JuD may be thinking of changing its name came as some senior cadres of the outfit recently organised a rally in Pakistan under the banner of Tehreek-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool (THR), the sources told PTI.
In fact, JuD itself is a reincarnation of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) after the latter was banned by the US seven years ago.
