If US can extradite Rana, why can't Pakistan hand over Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed: India's Ambassador to Israel

TEL AVIVL: Highlighting that Pakistan has for decades pursued cross-border terrorism into India with impunity, India's Ambassador to Israel J P Singh has said that it is high time that Islamabad hands over chiefs of Pakistan-based global Islamist terror organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to India.

In an interview with Israel's i24NEWS, Singh highlighted that these Pakistani outfits have been involved in innumerable terror attacks on India, including the 2001 Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the Uri base camp and Pathankot air base attacks in 2016, 2019 Pulwama attack, and now the heinous April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, last month.

"The root cause is these two groups - Jaish-e-Muhammad and its leader Masood Azhar and Lashkar-e-Taiba and its leader Hafiz Saeed. They (Pakistan) need to do a very simple thing - when the preamble includes goodwill and friendship, they just need to hand over these terrorists to us," Singh said during the interview.
