PARIS Shah Mahmoud Qureshi said there was no evidence that Jamaatud Dawa was engaged in any acts of violence, according to AFP.

'If there is evidence (of terror activities) we will take action,' he said when asked about the Jamaat, accused of being a front for Lashkar-i-Taiba, the group India blames for recent attacks in Mumbai.

'They're running schools, hospitals, dispensaries... but if this organisation or elements in it are getting into a mode of violence,' then authorities will take action, Qureshi said on a trip to Paris.

'Our minds are not shut,' he told reporters on the eve of a meeting on Afghanistan.
