The development comes a day after the Election Commission of Pakistan asked the political front to produce a clearance certificate by the interior ministry for its registration as a political party.
Separately, Saeed last week challenged the presidential ordinance under which his group has been banned for being on the watch-list of the United Nations in the Islamabad High Court.
The remark comes a day after Islamabad tried to raise the Kashmir issue at the United Nations for a second day in a row.
Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also said that the order "exposes Pakistan's duplicity" in taking action against terrorists and terror groups operating out of its soil.
The order came days after a Pakistani court extended a stay against the "possible arrest" of the JuD chief till April 4.
The Islamabad High Court passed its order as it suspended the ECP decision to bar the party from registering itself as a political outfit.
Saeed on January 23 moved the court against his possible arrest, arguing that the government, under alleged pressure from the US and India, wanted to arrest him.
Hafiz Saeed said the Presidential ordinance had been passed to cripple the JuD's work because US and external forces were not happy with JuD working for Pakistan through their educational institutions, ambulances and hospitals.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi reversed his decision to take stern action against Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Falah-i- Insaniyat Foundation.
Under pressure to act against banned groups, Pakistan took control of a seminary and four dispensaries run by Saeed-linked Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF).

Following orders by the Pakistan government, the Rawalpindi administration took control of a seminary and four dispensaries run by JuD and its charity wing Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), the Dawn newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, heads the charity JuD, believed to be a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group.
Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain has signed an ordinance aimed at reigning in individuals and organisations like the LeT, Al-Qaeda and Taliban, which have been banned by the UN Security Council.
Saeed also criticised ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif for not playing his role on the issue of Kashmir.
