Eighth Indian dossier on Saeed’s 26/11 role reaches Pak Interior Minister

ISLAMABAD - The eighth Indian dossier containing more details on the Mumbai terror attacks has reached Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik.

According to a statement issued by the Interior Ministry here, the dossier was handed over to Malik by Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir, who was accompanied by Pakistani High Commissioner to India, Shahid Malik.

India had submitted the dossier earlier this week seeking strict action against Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, who is believed to be the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

With the new dossier India has asked Pakistan to either hand over Saeed or take strict action against him.

This was the second such document handed over to Islamabad in the past two weeks.

During the Foreign Secretary level talks on February 28, India had submitted a dossier concerning the handing over of Saeed.

However, after the talks Bashir had said that evidence presented by New Delhi against Saeed was “mere literature” and the nation did not have enough evidence against him.

Earlier, New Delhi had expressed severe concern over Islamabad’s inaction against Saeed.

India had also expressed dissent over Islamabad allowing Saeed to make ‘provocative and insidious’ statements against India during a television interview.

Saeed had declared an open ‘Jihad’ against India in the interview.

“If India is not ready to talk on water and Kashmir then Pakistan should wage a war against India. JuD will fight along with the Pakistan army,” the wanted militant leader had said. (ANI)
