According to India's Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon, less than two weeks after it was banned by the United Nations, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) front Jama’at-ud-Da’awa is active, CCN-IBN reported. Menon said the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) is now operating under a new name. He also said the JuD has a new website, which is being used to collect money to fund terrorist activities. Speaking to the All India Radio, Menon rejected Pakistan's offer of joint investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks on November 26. He said India has shared evidence with Pakistan several times, but without any results. Menon added that even the Joint-Anti Terror mechanism set up by India and Pakistan has yielded no results so far.

According to Press Trust of India sources, JuD may be planning to rename itself as 'Tehreek-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool' (Movement for defending the honour of the Prophet) to avoid restrictions which Pakistan could be forced to impose on it because of UNSC sanctions. The indication that JuD may be thinking of changing its name reportedly came as some senior cadres of the outfit recently organised a rally in Pakistan under the banner of Tehreek-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool, sources told PTI.

The banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) rejected on January 2 a report that one of its leaders had acknowledged the group’s involvement in the multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, The News reported. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed officials, reported on December 31 that Pakistani authorities had obtained a confession from a senior LeT member. The suspect, identified as Zarar Shah, allegedly told investigators he had played a key role in the planning of the November attacks. “Lashkar-e-Toiba rejects the Wall Street Journal report,” its spokesman Abdullah Ghaznavi said in an email statement. “India has failed to furnish any evidence of Lashkar-e-Toiba’s involvement in the Mumbai attacks and America is now trying to help it out,” he claimed. No evidence could be found “on the scene of the crime, and now there is an effort to manufacture evidence thousands of miles away,” he added.

On January 7, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani sacked his National Security Adviser Major General (retd) Mehmud Ali Durrani for giving a statement on Mohammad Ajmal Amir alias Ajmal Kasab, the lone Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant arrested during the Mumbai terrorist attacks on November 26, 2008, without taking him into confidence, The News reported. Before the formal announcement, Prime Minister Gilani told Geo News on telephone that Durrani had given a statement to an Indian news channel regarding Ajmal Kasab without taking him into confidence. Gilani said that Durrani’s statement had tarnished the country’s image. “So I decided to sack him,” he told Geo News.

The Pakistani Government confirmed on January 7 that Mohammad Ajmal Amir alias Ajmal Kasab – the lone Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant arrested during the Mumbai terrorist attacks on November 26, 2008 – is a Pakistani. “The initial investigations have confirmed that Ajmal Kasab, involved in the Mumbai terrorist attacks, is a Pakistani national. Further investigations are under way,” Foreign Office Spokesman Muhammad Sadiq said, Daily Times reported. Sources in the foreign ministry said security agencies analysed the information India had gathered and shared with Pakistan, and concluded in a preliminary probe that Kasab is a Pakistani. Pakistan had earlier said its National Database and Registration Authority had no record of the man. Sadiq confirmed that the Interior Ministry had given the information to the Foreign Office. But he denied Pakistan would provide official support to Ajmal Kasab. “Kasab has committed a heinous crime. He will not be provided any official support or consular access,” the spokesman said.

Police sources said other Jama’at-ud-Da’awa leaders put on the list were Abdur Rehman Makki, Abu Hashim and Ameer Hamza, the channel added. Three people mentioned in the 30-name list were category ‘A’ - most wanted – and carried PKR 40 million as head money.

The Government said on January 15 that it had shut down five training camps of the outlawed Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), banned their seven publications and blocked all their websites, Dawn reported. The authorities have reportedly detained 124 people, several leaders and officials of the organisations among them. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the Prime Minister’s Adviser on Interior Affairs, Rehman Malik, assured India that Pakistan would do its utmost to bring the people involved in the Mumbai attacks to justice. Giving details of a crackdown, Malik said that training camps had been closed down in Punjab and Pakistan occupied Kashmir. He said members of the banned groups who had been detained included their founder Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, LeT ‘operations commander’ Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Mufti Abdur Rehman, Col (retd) Nazir Ahmed and Ameer Hamza. “We have arrested a total of 124 mid-level and top leaders of JuD in response to a UN resolution — 69 from Punjab, 21 from Sindh, eight from Balochistan and 25 from the NWFP — blocked six websites associated with the organisation and closed down its five relief camps,” the adviser said. He said 20 offices, 87 schools, two libraries, seven seminaries and a handful of other organisations and websites linked to the JuD had also been shut. He also said authorities had closed several relief camps of the organisation after the UN Security Council had passed the resolution. The publications banned are Mujalatud Dawa, Zarb-i-Taiba, Voice of Islam, Nanhay Mujahid, Ghazwa and Al Rabta. Assuring India that sincere efforts were being made to take all non-state actors involved in the attacks to the task, he urged New Delhi to provide access to Pakistani investigators to the scenes of the crimes and jointly investigate the incident so that all those involved could be brought to justice. He also announced the formation of a special investigation team headed by an additional director-general of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to examine, “without any prejudice”, all aspects of the Mumbai attacks and the information provided by India. The team will include two officers with counter-terrorism experience. “Information has been provided by India and we have formed an investigation team to reach the culprits,” he said. He said India had handed over information comprising 19 pages. Malik, however, ruled out handing over any Pakistani suspect to India. He said Pakistani laws allowed for prosecution of citizens who might have committed crimes elsewhere. He added that results of the investigation being conducted by the FIA would be made public and nothing would be concealed.

The outlawed Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) announced on January 18 it would support a peaceful and democratic struggle to liberate Kashmir, according to Daily Times. In a statement issued in Srinagar, capital of the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, LeT spokesman Abdullah Gaznavi said his group took up arms when the world did not respond to the Kashmiris’ peaceful struggle for more than four decades. “If the world listens to our cries and plays its role in resolving the Kashmir issue, there is no point in continuing fighting,” he said. “Our struggle is only confined to Kashmir and we have no relations or association with armed groups operating at the international level. We have no global agenda. We just want the freedom of Kashmir and if it comes though peaceful means, we will welcome it,” he stated. He said the groups did not believe that an armed struggle was the only way to achieve political objectives. According to him: “We had only responded to the cries of our Kashmiri brethren and had no choice but to call the world’s attention to their suffering through arms… If the world listens to our appeals and the Kashmir issue is resolved, there will be no reason for us to fight.” He also said it was ‘unfortunate’ that British Foreign Secretary David Milliband had blamed the LeT for the Mumbai attacks. “We don’t have a global agenda. We have done nothing [in the UK], and we don’t have any such plans. The British government should be careful in accusing someone,” he said.

More than 200 protesters on January 26 demonstrated against Pakistan’s appointment of an administrator to oversee the headquarters of Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD, the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] front), The News reported. “Death to America”, “Death to Israel and Jews”, shouted the protesters, carrying banners and placards that read: “Cancel administrator’s appointment,” “Remove the ban on the Jamaatud Dawa” and “We condemn the UN resolution.” Abu Ehsan, a former JuD administrator, while criticizing the January 25-takeover said, “This is a wrong step. First the government, under American and Indian pressure, placed a ban through the UN and now the Punjab government has... We strongly condemn this action and ask the government to review its decision,” AFP reported. The provincial Government of Punjab has taken over the Muridke headquarters of the JuD, appointing an administrator to run the schools and medical facilities on the premises, and renaming it Punjab Welfare Institute, The Hindu reported. The Punjab Government on January 25 named Khakan Babar, a senior official in the provincial Government, as the chief administrator of the assets at the Markaz-e-Taiba, an extensive facility located outside the provincial capital Lahore. He will report to the Lahore District Commissioner. “(The administrator’s) job is to ensure that the schools and dispensaries in Muridke can continue to function, and at the same time ensure that the other purposes for which it was being used don’t function,” said Pervaiz Rashid, an adviser to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

Hundreds of students protested on January 27 as a Government official took over administrative control of the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) headquarters in Muridke, according to The News. The protest, organised for the second day, came as a senior official from the Punjab Government, Khaqan Babar, started his job running the schools and hospital at the JuD headquarters. About 500 students from a school in the sprawling JuD compound in Muridke gathered outside the main office and chanted slogans against the Government. “The Government has occupied the school illegally,” they said. Witnesses said the protesters were school boys aged eight to 18, and students from a JuD-run madrassa (seminary). Protesters also gathered on the main highway linking provincial capital Lahore to the national capital Islamabad. They blocked the traffic for about half an hour before dispersing peacefully, police said. They carried banners and placards condemning “Indian pressure” and demanding that the Government lift a ban on the JuD.

A Pakistani investigation into the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008 has shown they were not planned in Pakistan, the Pakistani High Commissioner to Britain told an Indian television news channel on January 30, Daily Times reported. "Pakistani territory was not used so far as the investigators have made their conclusions," Wajid Shamsul Hassan told NDTV in an interview. Hassan said the nationality of Ajmal Kasab, the lone Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant arrested during the attacks, did not necessarily prove the hand of Pakistan in the attacks. "He does come from Pakistan, that doesn’t mean that Pakistan has sponsored whatever he carried out in Bombay… We are waiting for the report to be finalised, and once the report comes, it will make everything crystal clear. We do not think that evidence is credible," said Hassan. Hassan also said Pakistan’s examination of the Indian dossier would show its ‘non-involvement’ in the attacks and questioned the veracity of the Indian information, saying it ‘could be fabricated’.
