| India seeks Pak action against Hafiz Saeed |
| 2010-03-08 |
| [The News (Pak) Top Stories] An Indian official spokesperson said on Sunday that New Delhi had been demanding Pakistan to take action against Hafiz Saeed, who is "one of the masterminds of Mumbai terror attacks". Responding to queries regarding a reported statement by the Pakistan foreign minister that India had not demanded the arrest of Hafiz Saeed and that the issue did not even figure in the recently-concluded foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan, the spokesperson said India had handed over dossiers to Pakistan containing evidence on alleged involvement of Hafiz Saeed in the terrorist attack. "A dossier containing a compilation of evidence on the involvement of Hafiz Saeed in the terrorist attack was handed over to Pakistan on August 21, 2009 and his name featured prominently in yet another dossier handed over to the Pakistan foreign secretary during the talks on February 25, 2010," the spokesperson said. Saeed's activities, including his recent "vitriolic and venomous statements" aimed at fomenting further acts of terrorism against India and the unhindered public space and freedom he enjoys in Pakistan was raised strongly by India during the foreign secretary-level talks, the Indian spokesperson added. |
