Release of Hafiz Saeed by Pakistan 'atrocious': Chidambaram

New Delhi, Sept 6 (PTI) On the eve of his visit to the
US, Home Minister P Chidamabaram has termed as "atrocious"
Pakistan's decision to let off Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz
Saeed in the Mumbai terror attacks case and said there is
"enough and more" evidence to continue the probe against him.

He also said that India has never ruled out the
involvement of state actors in Pakistan in the 26/11 carnage
despite Islamabad's contention to the contrary.

"There is enough and more evidence to continue the
investigation against Hafiz Saeed. On the face of this
evidence, to let him off, I think, is atrocious," he told
NDTV.

Asked if he will raise with Washington the need to weigh
upon Islamabad that it has to act against Saeed, Chidamabaram
said, "If there is an opportunity, I will take them through
the sixth dossier. It has already been shared with many
countries--16 including the US.
"So they know what we have but if there is an opportunity,
I will certainly walk them through the dossier to point out
that there is enough evidence (against him)," the Home
Minister, who will be paying a four-day visit to the US
beginning Tuesday, said.

To a question that Saeed was accompanied by one "Major
General Saab' during a meeting with Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab
and other Mumbai terror attack accused at a training camp and
possible links of the Pakistan army, he said, "Well that can
only be revealed by investigation."
