In April 2012, the United States announced a bounty of $10 million on Hafeez Saeed, for his alleged role in 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
Saeed stated that he had nothing to do with the Mumbai attacks and condemned them.
When asked about the bounty Saeed replied, "I am living my life in the open and the US can contact me whenever they want."
Hafiz Saeed has criticized Pakistani leaders and has stated that they should aspire to be more like British Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson.
He had declared his admiration for the British Conservative Party along with several Tory MPs when he lodged a petition to the Lahore High Court calling for public officials in Pakistan to tone down their privileged lifestyles.
