Countering Pakistans stand that there is no concrete evidence against LeT founder Hafiz Saeed,India on Thursday insisted that it had provided additional evidence against him and his associates that should be presented in Pakistani court to prosecute the suspects in Mumbai attacks case.
On the opening day of the two-day Home Secretary-level talks,India also asked Pakistan to hand over underworld don Dawood Ibrahim besides several Indian Mujahideen leaders who are believed to be in that country.
Home Secretary R K Singh said Indian authorities had provided their Pakistani counterparts additional proof against Saeed while the Pakistani judicial commission that visited Mumbai in March had gathered evidence against the perpetrators of the 2008 terrorist assault.
The additional evidence should be presented in the Pakistani court and used to prosecute the terror suspects,he told the media at the conclusion of Thursdays talks with his Pakistani counterpart,Interior Secretary Khwaja Siddique Akbar. He said the 2008 attacks should not be equated with the Samjhuata Express bombing of 2007,saying India had arrested and chargesheeted those responsible for it.
