NEW DELHI: A Pakistan PM Imran Khan’s Minister is seen saying in a video he will "protect" Hafiz Saeed, who is accused of planning the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, which is contradicting  Pakistani PM Khan's avowed policy of curbing terrorism. The viral leaked video shows Shehryar Afridi, minister of state for the interior, speaking to Milli Muslim League (MML) leaders. When he is stated about Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had declined to register Saeed's party under US pressure, Afridi said: "We will not let this happen."

"As long as we (the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf) are in the government all those including Hafiz Saeed who are raising voice for Pakistan and justice, we are with them," Afridi said in the undated video.

"This is our belief. I request you to come to the National Assembly and see whether we are supporting those who on the right path or not," he said.

The US and the UN declared Saeed an international terrorist after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Pakistan put him under house arrest in November 2008 but a court released him some months after. He also carries a USD 10 million American bounty on his head for his alleged role in terror activities.
