Congress Questions Centre Over Hafiz Saeed’s Rant
NEW DELHI: Reacting to the challenge put forward by Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed to prove his involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the Congress Party on Monday, December 14, raised questions over the recent negotiations between
India and Pakistan.
“This is painful as our government is very keen to talk to Pakistan,” Congress leader Pramod Tiwari told ANI.
“Hafiz Saeed is the killer of 197 people in Mumbai and he is making such statements. Is this the result of the negotiations between India and Pakistan? Pakistan should first send Hafiz Saeed to the Indian court and should stop terror activities,” he added.
He insisted that firing and talks cannot go hand in hand between the two nations.
Echoing similar sentiments, Congress leader P.L. Punia told ANI, “Hafiz Saeed is saying that India does not have any evidence of his involvement in 26/11 terror attacks. We want to ask the External Affairs Minister if the important issues of terrorism and Hafiz Saeed were even discussed,” Punia told ANI.
