Abdul Basit ,Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India has been summoned by India , today to register New Delhi’s strong objection against the Islamabad High Court’s decision to release Mumbai terror attack mastermind, Zakir-ur-Rehman Lakhvi from prison.
Earlier, Minister of states for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju had criticized Islamabad High Court’s decision to release the mastermind of Mumbai terror attack.
"It is the responsibility of the Pakistan Government to ensure that all the legal measures are taken so that he doesn't get out of jail. All the overwhelming evidences, which clearly shows Lakhvi's role and conspiracy in the bomb attack in Mumbai has not been properly presented in the Pakistani court by the Pakistani agencies. This is a case which is worrying us. The Pakistani agencies should present all the incriminating evidences in the court of law," Rijiju said.
"There should be no discrimination in terms of showing the character of terrorists. Terrorist cannot be a bad or a good terrorist. We are concerned and we would like to see that the Pakistan Government takes things seriously and Pakistani agencies present all the evidences available before the Pakistani courts," he added.
Congress Party leaders have also criticized Pakistan saying that it was not serious about dealing with the danger of terrorism.
Earlier in the day, the Islamabad High Court had declared Lakhvi's detention as 'illegal' and ordered his release.
