ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said Pakistan can take
action against Hafiz Muhammad Saeed chief of Jamat ul Dawat if India
provides practicable evidence against him.
Interior minister
said this while talking to Indian journalists here Tuesday. He held law
does not run on the basis of statements but it runs on the basis of
evidence.
If India provides any workable evidence against Hafiz
Muhammad Saeed then we can arrest him, he stated. Pakistan had arrested
Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi allegedly involved in Mumbai attacks, he added.
Action would also be initiated against other suspected persons like
Major Iqbal for their alleged involvement in Mumbai attacks if India
furnishes more evidence against them.
“I have sent a collection
of questions to Indian government with reference to Major Iqbal but no
reply has been received from Indian side so far”, he told.
The
trials of 5 suspected Pakistanis arrested in Mumbai incident are
pending as evidence against them are being collected, he pointed out.
All the arrested persons tried to be bailed out but their bail pleas
have been cancelled, he added. Online
