26/11 mastermind gets bail while Peshawar attacker killed
Mumbai: Killing of Taliban commander who masterminded the Peshawar school attack within 10 days of the massacre while letting Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, a conspirator in Mumbai’s 26/11 terror attacks get bail expose Pakistan’s double standard on terrorism.
Special public prosecutor of 26/11 case Ujjwal Nikam said, “Unfortunately, Pakist-an is not seriously looking at the person who are committing terrorist acts in India; but on the contrary, it is indu-lging in such activities by taking very loose action against them that too because of international pressure.
Pakistan is sheltering Dawood Ibrahim, it is not prosecuting Hafiz Saeed and is it adopting loose action against Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, which shows that it is exporting terror in India and this is what I call a strategic terror culture that is being developed in Pakistan.”
Special public prosecutor Rohini Salian, who conducted a counterfeit currency case, for which terrorism charges were proven against the accused and the involvement of Pakistan was also found, said, “In India, we strictly believe in rule of law. I do not know about Pakistan what is its agenda. If a person is found guilty, he will be punished.
This is the greatness of India. From the way Pakistan is behaving in different cases, we get clues that there is something fishy happening there and it is obvious that this is being done intentionally and with its knowledge.
We have faith in the law, but I do not know whether Pakistan has faith in our law, otherwise the accused would have faced the trial here. If they were not guilty, why they are scared?”
She also said, “I do not want to malign an entire country, but some people and outfits there are doing something or the other in India, and their interests are totally different like the 26/11 attacks and manufacturing fake Indian currencies and circulating them in India to destroy our economy. If the Pakistan government wants to maintain a good relationship with us, it should take care of it.”
Ramesh Mahale, the chief investigating officer (now retired) in the 26/11-terror attack case, said, “It is unfortunate that Lakhvi got bail. I do not know on what grounds he was given bail, as I have not seen the bail order. But I would like to add that I had submitted ample evidence to the Pakistan.”
