Saeed should be interrogated for 26/11 attacks: PC

Chennai, Sep 21 (PTI) Home Minister P Chidambaram Monday
demanded that Pakistan interrogate JuD chief Hafiz Mohammad
Saeed for the Mumbai terror attacks as all the evidence
against him was on its soil.

Reacting to reports that Saeed has been placed under
house arrest, Chidambaram said he has no objection even if it
was a "face-saving technique" by Pakistan.

"My demand is that now that he has been arrested he
should be interrogated on the 26/11 incidents. His role in the
26/11 attacks must be investigated," he told reporters here on
the sidelines of a function here in the capital of the
southerns state of Tamil Nadu.

"Evidence is in Pakistani soil. When Pakistan says give
us evidence, evidence is not on Indian soil, all the evidence
against Hafiz Saeed is on Pakistani soil," he said.

"Therefore, one must investigate in Pakistan and find the
evidence in Pakistan," he said.

The Home Minister said two FIRs, which were filed against
Saeed on Friday by Pakistani authorities, are unrelated to
26/11 attacks.

India has been insisting that Pakistan should take action
against Saeed for his role in masterminding the Mumbai attacks
but Pakistani authorities have claimed that the evidence
provided by New Delhi against the JuD chief is not adequate
for arresting or prosecuting him. PTI SNR
