A top Pakistan court was told on Thursday that internationally-designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed's outfits Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) are no longer on the banned outfits list, reported the country's media. Following international pressure and US act of freezing military and economic aids to Pakistan, former president Mamnoon Hussain had signed an ordinance in February 2018 amending the country's Anti-Terrorism Act to include entities banned by the UN Security Council. The UNSC sanctions list includes the names of terror organisations such as JuD, FIF, Lashkar-e-Toiba, al-Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
