A day after Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari indicated that Pakistan wouldn’t hand over the terrorists wanted by India, alleging there was no proof against them, the Ministry of External Affairs has rejected his claims.
MEA sources say many of the men on the most-wanted list are Indian nationals in any case and that there is nothing Pakistan has to stop them from being deported to India.
Sources say enough evidence have been provided many times in the past to Pakistan, but Islamabad has always claimed the evidence was not sufficient.
Pakistan claims no specific evidence has been provided so far in the Mumbai case.
The list of 20 most-wanted includes Maulana Masood Azhar, who was among the three terrorists released during the Kandahar hijack crisis. His group the Jaish-e-Mohammad is blamed for the attack on Indian Parliament.
