Pak intent is not clear

Letting off the brain behind Mumbai attacks and chief of Jamaat-Ud-Dawa and founder of dreaded terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba Hafiz Saeed by the Lahore High Court because of the feeble charges made against him is a foregone conclusion. Despite the UN suspecting Saeed of having association with Taliban and Al-Qaeda and putting him on the list of terrorists, Pakistan has not proscribed him. This is enough to show that the intention of Pakistan is not clear and it has never taken the dossiers provided by India to establish clearly the involvement of Hafiz Saeed in Mumbai attacks. The court has freed him for his provocative speech in Faislabad on the occasion of Ramazan in which he preached to lauch Jihad against infidels, pointing clearly towards the US and Kashmir. The court found the evidence filmsy and it let him off. After the Mumbai attacks, the five Pakistani nationals other than the mastermind of the attacks Hafiz Saeed were arrested for their involvement in the attacks under immense international pressure, and Hafiz Saeed too was put under House arrest. But because of the insufficient evidence against him despite India submitting enough evidences, the Pak government deliberately did not produce them before the court. The court of law always deliver judgement on the merit of the case. It found the evidence insufficient and freed him. Now the question here arises why the civilian government of Pakistan connive with taking action against Saeed.It is because of his strong links with the Army and ISI, which have great influence on the government. It is also no secret that without the consent of army and ISI when the issue is involved with India, Pak government can do nothing. Army and ISI are the driving forces behind the successive governments since the inception of Pakistan. And that must be understood by US too, the mentor of Pakistan. When there is clear evidence, which has been submitted by India to Pakistan and other sixteen countries, including the US, against Hafiz Saeed being the mastermid of Mumbai attacks, why does the US not compel Pakistan to act against him if its intent is clear for fighting against terrorism? The US Intelligence Department has said a number of times that Pakistan is the breeding ground of terrorism, but no concrete action has ever been taken. Why so?
