Indian government sources have claimed that New Delhi has already given solid evidence on Lashkar-e-Taiba founder and alleged 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed to Pakistan, CNN-IBN reported on Monday. Rejecting Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s denial that India had handed over any evidence, CNN-IBN sources said the evidence includes Ajmal Kasab’s statement that Hafiz Saeed was present during the selection and training of terrorists behind the 26/11 attack.
The channel’s sources also pointed out that David Coleman Headley’s statements about Hafiz Saeed saying the Mumbai mission was critical have also been sent out. They said that it was now time for Pakistan to act on the evidence provided. This came after Gilani reacted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks to Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari in Delhi on Sunday, linking progress in bilateral talks to action against the alleged 26/11 mastermind.
