Hafiz Saeed's request a matter between him, Pak handlers: India

February 16, 2017 21:53

India today said Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's request for removal of his name from a list that bars him from leaving Pakistan is a matter concerning him and his handlers there.

"It is between Hafiz Saeed and his handlers in Pakistan. Our view is that he is internationally proscribed terrorist who had engaged in numerous acts of terrorism not only directed at India... and he needs to be brought to justice as soon as possible," MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.

In a letter to Pakistan Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Saeed, the mastermind of 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, in which 166 people died, asked the Pakistan government to immediately remove his name from a list that bars him from leaving the country, claiming he was neither a security risk nor his outfit ever engaged in terrorist activities.
