According to The Daily Telegraph, Saeed wrote in the petition that while Pakistan's political elite were 'living like kings and princes in palatial government houses,' Britain's prime minister lived in a 'four-bedroom flat.'
He added, 'When the sun never set on the British Empire, the chief executive of that great country lived in the same house of a few marlas in a small street. That is truly Islamic, that is like following the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet.'
Hafiz Saeed offered aid to those Americans who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. His organization Jamaat-ud-Dawa was prepared to send volunteers, medicine, and food to those on the East Coast who were struggling to cope in the aftermath of the storm.
Following his offer, the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad rejected the offer and stated: "We respect the Islamic tradition of help to the needy but we can't take Hafiz Saeed's offer seriously."
