In a quick comeback, the Pakistan PMO says the bail order to Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi was a technical error and the government would ensure that justice is done. "The government will oppose this bail order and ensure that justice is done. The Nawaz Sharif govt is committed to rooting out terror," the PMO said.

Zaki-ur-Rehman's bail comes in the backdrop of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif vow on Wednesday to intensify the war on terror as mass funerals in the Peshawar attacks.

As Pakistan mourned its dead, Sharif said all political parties had decided to draft a national action plan against terrorists within a week and act upon it immediately. "We announce that there will be no differentiation between 'good' and 'bad' Taliban and have resolved to continue the war against terrorism till the last terrorist is eliminated," the Pakistan Prime Minister said, following an all-party meeting.

Lakhvi, one of the prime accused in the November 26, 2008 Mumbai blasts, was granted bail by Pakistan's anti-terror court today, along with six other accused. 

All the seven Pakistani nationals are accused of planning and abetting the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. They had filed bail applications in the anti-terrorism court at Rawalpindi on Wednesday.
