ISLAMABAD: Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior Rehman Malik Tuesday said David Headley, who was involved in a number of anti-Pakistan activities, should be handed over to Pakistan.
Addressing a press conference here at his residence, he said after Mumbai attacks, he being as Interior Minister during the then PPP-led government had asked his Indian counterpart Chidambaram to investigate David Headley, who was involved in Mumbai attacks.
India, he added, did not provide answers to his 48 questions and instead started blaming Pakistan for its alleged involvement in the Mumbai attacks.
In fact the Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), he said, was behind the Mumbai terror attack and Samjhota Express incident.
He said RAW had "plotted, engineered and executed" the attacks to put blame on Pakistan and its intelligence agencies.
He said Headley had made seven trips between India and New York, and was not intercepted. He succeeded in making video recording of the targeted sites.
He said Headley had been involved in recruiting anti- Pakistan elements and it was Pakistan which first made the claim that he was involved in activities against it, thus the right to try and investigate him first rested with Pakistan.
He called the media and the people to make a collective efforts to expose India before the world that it had been involved in anti-Pakistan activities and leave no opportunity to defame Pakistan.
He said challan with regard to Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto's murder case had been submitted in the court and his statement had been recorded as ex-interior minister. He would appear in the court through his counsel, he added.
