New Delhi: With Pakistan refusing to arrest
or hand over JuD chief and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Mohd Saeed,
India today said that country should consider action against
him so that they can deal with the perpetrators of Mumbai
attack in a "proper manner".
"We have reiterated again and again that he (Saeed) is
part of Jamat-ud-Dawa that has been, under the UN rules,
declared as one of the banned outfits. We are sorry that they
are not taking it into consideration," Minister of State for
External Affairs Preneet Kaur told reporters here.
She was asked why the name of either Saeed or his outfit
was not part of the Prime Minister`s reply in the Lok Sabha on
the Motion of Thanks to the President`s Address.
"We have given the dossiers which they are refusing to
accept as enough evidence... But we will continue to request
that they take his name into consideration and the
organisations he is involved with so that they can deal with
the perpetrators (of the Mumbai terror strikes) in a proper
manner," the Minister said.
The Pakistan Foreign Office yesterday said that it was
not aware of India`s demand to hand over Saeed. The comments
had come despite India recently giving three dossiers to
Pakistan containing names of 34 terrorists wanted by it,
including Saeed, and demanding that they be handed over.
