Handing over of Hafeez Saeed during Pak Interior Min visit



New Delhi:(Page3 News Network)-India will press for handing over of LeT founder and 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafeez Saeed during the visit of Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik beginning December 14th.Addressing a press conference in New Delhi today, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said he told Malik, when they met in Maldives on the sidelines of a SAARC inter-ministerial conference in September this year, that Saeed was moving freely in Pakistan and he should be handed over to India.

Shinde said he will also seek voice samples of the handlers of the terrorists who carried out the Mumbai terror attack in 2008 that left 166 persons dead.

Shinde, however, declined to comment on the legal proceedings related to 26/11 case going on in that country saying the matter was subjudice.

During the day,Shinde said that Malik has written to him confirming his visit from December 14th to 16th.

Both India and Pakistan will operationalise the liberalised visa agreement during Malik's visit. The new visa regime will replace a 38-year-old restrictive accord and will pave the way for time-bound visa approval and greater people- to-people contact and trade.
