NEW DELHI: India said on Friday that Pakistan should arrest the leader of a powerful Kashmiri guerrilla group based there and and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, and hand them over to New Delhi if it was serious about fighting terrorism.   
 
The call came after Indian officials said Pakistan-backed terrorists may have carried out or planned last week's bomb blasts in Mumbai that killed more than 180 people.   
 
“The self-styled chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Syed Salahuddin, who is freely roaming in Pakistan and in PoK... should be arrested and handed over to India,” Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna told reporters.
 
The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, led by the Pakistan-based Salahuddin, is the biggest militant group fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, where more than 45,000 people have been killed since 1989.   
 
On Thursday, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf urged India not to indulge in a blame game after the Mumbai blasts and said the two countries should take the two-and-a-half-year peace process forward.
