Pakistan must handover Dawood to India, says M. Venkaiah Naidu

Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday asked Pakistan to handover underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and the other convicts of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks to India so that the relations between both nations can improve.

Pakistan must handover terrorist Dawood and the convicts of 26/11 then the relations between both the countries can improve, said Naidu.

What is the interest of Pakistan in providing shelter to terrorist like Osama and Dawood, he asked.

Naidu further said it is known to everyone in the world that Dawood is in Pakistan and is being backed by them.

Pakistan has been denying this and now that we have the proof of him being in Pakistan, they must hand over him to us, he added.

A report in a leading English newspaper said that Indian security agencies have gathered evidence to prove that Dawood lives in Pakistan.

Dawood, who is wanted by India in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts, and his family have been living in Clifton neighbourhood in Pakistan's Karachi, the report added.
