India slams Pakistan for saying Hafiz Saeed free to roam, demands his arrest

[Zarvan]

NEW DELHI: India on Monday hit out at Pakistan for its remarks that Hafiz Saeed had no case against him and he was free to roam, saying the designated terrorist was the "evil" mastermind behind the Mumbai attacks and it is Pakistan's responsibility to bring the chief of terror outfit JuD to book and deliver justice.

"Our views on Hafiz Saeed are very clear. To us, he is the evil mastermind of the attacks on Mumbai and one of the accused in an Indian court for killings on streets of Mumbai. We have repeatedly asked Pakistan that he should be apprehended and taken through normal judicial process.

"Alas! He has never been arrested on account of 26/11. Therefore.... he is only free because he is a Pakistani citizen," external affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said here.

The sharp reaction by India came within hours of Pakistan high commission Abdul Basit's remarks that "Hafiz Saeed is a Pakistani national so he is free to roam around. So what is the problem...he is a free citizen so there is no issue as far as Pakistan is concerned. Courts have already exonerated him. There is no case pending against him."

Asked about Pakistan's stand that there was not enough evidence to prove his involvement, the MEA spokesperson said, "99 per cent evidence in this case is in Pakistan. That is because the entire conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan. The planning for this dastardly act was done in Pakistan.

"The financing for this act was undertaken in Pakistan and people involved who were involved in this were from Pakistan. Therefore, it has always been our view that it devolves on Pakistan that it ensures that criminals like Hafiz Saeed were brought to book and justice was delivered in the instance of crime in Mumbai."

166 people were killed in the terror strike in Mumbai in 2008. New Delhi has also protested the delay in the on-going trial of the case in Pakistan.

Recently, Saeed, known for his anti-India tirade and designated as a terrorist by the US, has also accused India of indulging in "water-terrorism".

Truly speaking, we can't do shit about Hafiz Saeed. Any op. targeting him would simply start war. If he is a terrorist for India, then he is also a "MESSIAH" for the Pakistani people. So, just accusing him and "slamming Pakistan" wouldn't help us. India should look at this problem with another view and perspective.

As long as people like him roam around freely in Pakistan, you can bet they will do more damage to their country than ours.

 

[trollhunter]

Whatever he is,he will be credited by Pakistan people day night no doubt...no wonder it is called a massive hub of this kind of activities....they are degrading themselves letting people like him to be free..we can only give proper advice..

 

[Sulman Badshah]

Arrest for what ??? India should give proof against him ...

He is not a messiah for Pakistani people, and people aren't exactly lining up to listen to his views here. As long as there is no credible evidence against him (which India has failed to provide) he cannot be arrested. Even if he is arrested, he will never be extradited to India, because:
1-We don't have extradition treaty with India in effect
2-We would want to have the Samjhota Express bombers also arrested and extradited to Pakistan.

Why are you replying ? Just say them " Gut less pigs only can cry. They can do nothing." Just say this , they will keep quiet.

You should reply like this " Cowards only cry and they can do nothing." Then you will see these cowards will keep quiet.

I always say this, Indians can only cry and fart. Nothing more. If India was really serious, it would be going for discussions. Pakistan and it's people are highly unpredictable. You never know that India gives Pakistan something that Pakistan would be forced to settle the Hafiz Saeed issue. But for that to happen, you need to have FREAKING DIALOGUE which India itself is not willing to do.

If India is not willing to engage in positive talks, then it should not be demanding anything from Pakistan PERIOD
