Pakistan on Tuesday arrested Mufti Abdur Rauf, the brother of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar, along with 43 other members of banned Islamist outfits in a crackdown.
Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Khan Afridi announced the move at a press conference and insisted that the action was not the result of any pressure, the Pakistani media reported.
Hammad Azhar, reportedly a close relative of Masood Azhar, was also among those arrested in the crackdown, Afridi said, adding that action would be taken against all the proscribed organizations.
