Chidambaram to raise Hafiz Saeed issue during Pak visit

New Delhi, May 28: Amid India’s disappointment, Home Minister P Chidambaram is expected to raise the issue of LeT founder Hafiz Saeed being let off by Pakistani Supreme Court when he meets his counterpart Rehman Malik during his visit to Islamabad next month.

Chidambaram is expected to have a bilateral meeting with Malik on the sidelines of SAARC Interior Ministers’ conference scheduled on June 26.

During the meeting, Chidambaram is likely to discuss the status of investigations and trial in the Mumbai attack case in Pakistan, sources said.

In this connection, the Home Minister is expected to press for action against Saeed, whom India considers as the “mastermind” of Mumbai attack but has been let off by the Supreme Court for want of adequate evidence.

India believes that Saeed could go scotfree because Pakistan is not appropriately pushing evidence against him.
