Official Spokesperson’s response to a question on the recent Lahore high Court order setting aside the detention of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi
In response to a question regarding the remarks of the Indian Spokesperson on the recent Lahore High Court order setting aside the detention of Mr. Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the Spokesperson said:
The case of Mumbai attack suspects is subjudice. It would not be proper to cast aspertions on Pakistan’s commitment to countering terrorism at a time when Pakistan has entered a critical stage of defeating the menace of terrorism.
As I had mentioned earlier also, inordinate delay in extending cooperation by India complicated the case and weakened the prosecution. We respect the judicial process and are confident that it would serve the interest of justice.
