Dawood was in Pak, admits Sharif's envoy - Times of India

LONDON: A senior Pakistani diplomat has finally acknowledged what India has long alleged -- India's most wanted, Dawood Ibrahim, has been living in Pakistan. However, he claimed that Dawood is no longer in the country. Shahryar Khan, Pakistani president Nawaz Sharif's special envoy to India, told TOI, "I don't know where Dawood is now. He was in Pakistan. I believe he was chased out. My feeling is he is in UAE right now". Khan, a former foreign secretary of Pakistan, added, "He should be hounded out. We can't allow gangsters like him to target both Pakistan and operate against other countries. Mr Sharif is very much in favour of strong action against criminals who have settled in Pakistan". India has failed to get Pakistan to admit to hosting Dawood so far. Delhi Police recently named the underworld don in its chargesheet in the IPL spot-fixing case. The police claimed that Dawood and his aide Chhota Shakeel are "controlling the fixing and betting market" of cricket in India from safe houses in Karachi and Islamabad. Two addresses in Karachi and one in Islamabad were listed as Dawood's coordinates in Pakistan. Dawood's whereabouts were handed over to Pakistan by India last year during secretary level talks in Islamabad. Khan, who recently met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, also admitted that Pakistan needs to lock down 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed and can't allow him to walk freely on the streets of Lahore. He told TOI, "We need to bring such people under control. Mr Sharif realises something needs to be done about Saeed. We have to impose the law and take him in for inciting people against India". Saeed, the chief of Jamat-ud-Dawa, led the Eid prayers at the famous Gaddafi stadium in Pakistan on Friday, hours after tweeting that the "time is near when those oppressed in Kashmir, Palestine and Burma will celebrate Eid in the air of freedom". The US has put a bounty of $10 million (about Rs 60 crore) on Saeed's head. India has repeatedly asked Pakistan to turn in Saeed for masterminding the November 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
