#Islamabad: India had raise question over the intension of its neighbor country Pakistan which claimed to fight against terrorism after Pakistan court had granted bail to #Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi. Lakhvi was the mastermind of #MumbaiTerrorAttack in 2008 in which 166 people were killed.
Notify that six terrorists had uproar in army-run school in #Peshawar of #Pakistan and killed 141 people including 132 children on December 16 after which Pakistan had claimed that it will fight against terrorism in its country.
The spokesperson of Ministry of Foreign Affairs #Syed #Akbaruddin said that Pakistan has been informed of “the sentiments across the spectrum of Indian society that that this will make a mockery of Pakistan’s commitment to fight against terror groups without hesitation and without making distinctions.”
He referred to the “glacial pace” of the trial of Lakhvi, 54, who was arrested in 2009 along with six other terrorists charged with helping to plot and execute India’s worst-ever terror strike.
Federal Investigating Agency or #FIA of Pakistan is prosecuting Lakhvi which opposed his bail unsuccessfully in court yesterday.
The Pakistan government has confirmed it will appeal against the verdict in the Supreme Court.
Meantime Lakhvi remains in custody under a special legal provision called the Maintenance of Public Order. The bail order came as Pakistan was plunged in mourning for nearly 132 children killed by the Taliban in a Peshawar school, leading Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to vow a crack-down on terror groups.
A court of #Islamabad had claimed that prosecution has been unable to provide evidence against Lakhvi so he had been granted bail.
Meanwhile Home Minister of India Rajnath Singh and others point out that India has furnished material that includes voice samples of phone instruction of Lakhvi to the ten terrorists who sailed into Mumbai in 2008 on how to strike the Mumbai’s biggest landmarks Hotel #Taj.
The only terrorist who had been caught alive after the siege Ajmal Kasab had told Indian investigators that Lakhvi was the mastermind of the attacks, along with Hafiz Saeed, the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terror group banned by Pakistan but tacitly supported by its army.
