New Delhi: India asked Pakistan on Saturday to hand over underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and said that India had enough evidence have been given to it on the prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
Minister of State (MoS) for Home Kiran Rijiju said on Saturday that fresh evidences surfacing about India’s most wanted fugitive Dawood Ibrahim only strengthened India’s position which it had held all along and asked Pakistan to act on handing him over to New Delhi.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said in Lucknow that Dawood is India’s most wanted terrorist and India has repeatedly asked Pakistan to hand him over to it.
Kiran Rijiju said, “We have been asking to hand over him to India for a long time. Already many evidence have been given to Pakistan. Pakistan should now act and hand him over to us.”
Singh said, “Wait and watch”. The comments came amidst reports which suggested that Dawood is running his business empire with impunity and the billions he makes are being spent in terror operations around the globe.
Web-portal NewsMobile on behalf of tapes received from western diplomatic sources said, “Dawood has been tracked in Karachi, alive and kicking, and is heard expanding his real estate business.”
Saurabh Shukla, editor-in-chief of NewsMobile said, “This clearly proves that the underworld don is blatantly running his terror supermarket from Pakistan and his real estate interests are helping him generate enough funds to expand his operations.”
Notify that India’s most wanted terrorist, Dawood is the mastermind of the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai that claimed around 300 lives.
He said, “It’s already a stated position which the Government of India has taken and this demand of the Government of India is always known and already Pakistan has been under pressure that he should be handed over. If fresh evidence has come up it is making the case stronger, so let Pakistan act on that.”
Brig. (Rtd) Anil Gupta said that Dawood is living under Pak govt. patronage.
Gupta said on Saturday that Pakistan has failed to proof that it is against terrorism as Dawood Ibrahim is staying in Karachi under the patronage of Pakistani government.
He said, “Pakistan is telling lie after lie. It has been denying earlier also, it is denying now and it is trying to prove to the world that it is against terrorism and fighting it. But, the fact is that Pakistan is a state sponsor of terrorism and the fact that person like Dawood Ibrahim, who is number one and the most wanted terrorist in the world, is staying in Pakistan, in Karachi, under the patronage of Pakistani government. It is a proof beyond doubt that Pakistan is always telling lies.”
He also said, “As far as India and Pakistan is concerned, India has got the capability of doing the same thing that America did for Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. The moment we decide of doing anything, the Indian Army is capable of acting and taking action against Dawood Ibrahim in the same manner as it was taken against Osama Bin Laden.”
