In a sign of official patronage to JuD, the group led by Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed, the Pakistan government is running two special trains to transport people to Lahore for the terror group’s two-day congregation here.

JuD chief Saeed told reporters here on Tuesday that thousands of people would participate in the congregation starting on December 4 at the ground of Minar-i-Pakistan monument.

The JuD sought the permission of Railways Minister Saad Rafique to run the special trains, sources said.
