Lakhvi's bail makes a mockery of Pak's pledge to fight terror: Sushma

New Delhi: Pakistan has made a mockery of its pledge to fight terrorism by allowing bail to 26/11 mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said Friday. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, she said: “Pakistan had given an assurance to fight terror in all forms. But by this, it has made a mockery of it. We reject the argument that the evidence against Lakhvi, who is the mastermind of 26/11, was not sufficient. Pakistan had six years time to collect evidence. It was their duty. We demand from Pakistan that this decision should be overturned.” [caption id=“attachment_1856047” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Sushma Swaraj in this file photo.
