Sir — India has rightly reacted furiously to the Pakistan Government’s withdrawal of request before the Pakistani courts to extend the detention of UN-designated terrorist, and Jamaat-ud-Daw’ah chief Hafiz Saeed under the anti-terrorism law.
The 26/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai eight years ago by Pakistani terrorists was horrific. To this end, the need to book those who planned the attack from Pakistan has been consistently taken up by New Delhi with Islamabad but to no avail.
The US seemed to be siding with the Indian approach soon after US President Donald Trump took charge. Now, it may not be bothered with India’s woes as the Pakistani Army appears to be playing the ball in Afghanistan. While India needs to find its mojo to deal with Pakistan, unnecessarily raining down verbal fire is neither helpful nor sustainable.
