New York, September 27: Pakistan does not want to take to court a “half-baked” case against JuD chief Hafiz Mohd Saeed, blamed by India for masterminding Mumbai attacks, and needs “legally tenable” evidence against him, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said today hours ahead of crucial talks with his Indian counterpart S M Krishna.
“We will certainly not hesitate for taking action (against Saeed), but we got to have a case which is legally tenable because if we take a case into court which is a half-baked case and if the court sets him free, you’ll say ‘collusion’, ‘drama’. No we are not in a mood to collude with terrorists,” Qureshi told NDTV here.
He was responding to a question about Pakistan not taking action against Saeed, also founder of the LeT, despite being provided with evidence by India against him.
