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.
