Tharoor reacts to Hafiz Saeed's threats

December 18, 2014 15:06

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on JuD chief and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed blaming India for the Peshawar attacks: "A typical example of denial that some people are in, blaming India is a pointless way out."

On national television on Tuesday, in Pakistan, Saeed, one of the world's most-wanted men, blamed India for the massacre of children at a Pakistan school and vowed revenge.

Not a single politician in Pakistan condemned the remarks of the man behind the terror attacks in Mumbai in 2008, in which 166 people were killed.

Saeed's threats come as India has pledged its support to its neighbour as it grapples with its worst-ever terror attack.
