Lok Sabha condemns bail to Lakhvi
New Delhi, Dec 19: The Lok Sabha Friday unanimously condemned the release on bail of 26/11 mastermind Zaki-ur Rahman Lakhvi by a Pakistan court. During a discussion on the matter in zero hour, Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge said: "After 132 children were killed in Pakistan, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had said that all steps would be taken now to contain terror." "But just two days later, we saw another face of Pakistan. A court has granted bail to Lakhvi," he said. BJP MP Kirit Somaiya questioned as to how a Pakistan court had let off Lakhvi. "He should be immediately handed over to India and meet the fate as Ajmal Kasab," he added. Pakistani national Ajmal Amir Kasab was the sole surviving gunman of the Mumbai terror attack. He was later hanged. CPI-M member M. Salim said: "We all condemn the Pakistan incident. There is no place for any kind of dialogue with terrorists". Trinamool Congress' Kalyan Banerjee said it was very unfortunate that on "the basis of evidence the court has said it was not enough. The evidence provided by the Indian government was not used".
