New Delhi: The Twitter account of Pakistani terrorist and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed has been suspended by the social networking site. The move comes after the Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief spew venom and wrote about freeing Kashmir and avenging 1971 Bangladesh war and Ahmedabad riots.
However, hours after Twitter suspended the account, another account claiming that of Saeed was opened. But the veracity of the account is yet to be established.
Twitter suspended Saeed's existing account (@HafizSaeedJUD) on Monday. Apparently, Twitter acted on a series of vituperative messages posted by Saeed's handle, particularly after his Lahore rally.
The last tweet, posted on December 5, said, "Ghazwae Hind inevitable, Kashmir will be freed, 1971 avenged and Ahmedabad Gujrat victims will get justice Insha Allah."
Concerns were expressed in some quarters over the hate messages. Apparently, the social networking site finally took a call and suspended Saeed's official handle.
However, hours later, another account (@HafeezSaeedJUD1) was opened which claimed it was that of the chief of the outlawed JuD. The tweet also said that they would soon give out an 'Official Response on Twitter double standards'. But the claims of the 'official account' is yet to be verified.
