India claims Pakistan providing safe haven to Dawood Ibrahim: Report
Indian Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, addressing the Interpol general assembly in Rome, said that red corner notices against Ibrahim were still pending.
According to the report, the minister drew a parallel between the 1993 bomb blasts and the 2008 terror strike in Mumbai, and noted that along with the 9/11 mayhem in the US, these attacks underscored the inter-state nature of planning by terrorists and the need for increased global cooperation among intelligence and investigation agencies.
The minister also pointed out that terrorism, by its method and content, rejected democratic and peaceful means of engagement.
“It attacks pluralism and multi-culturalism. Thus for a liberal, democratic and diverse society and country like India, terrorism and terrorist groups pose a challenge, which have to be countered and effectively defeated,” Shinde was quoted as saying.

@Prakash: Ummmm sorry but didnt that wedding take place in Dubai?
@Feroz: India, along with the USA, should move the United Nations to declare Pakistan a terrorism-sponsored state. Pakistan's "denial-and-deceit" tactic, of which Washington is long aware and consequently did not inform the Pakistani leaders of their intention to nab OBL in Abbottabad was a brilliant strategic move which paid off in the end. Pakistan is already treated like an international pariah. If Pakistan continued with its deceitful behaviour, it will not only lose what little international goodwill it commands, but also find itself in the company of other pariah nations such as North Korea, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, etc. Terrorism is the scourge of our times. No nation can afford to tolerate it, let alone actively promote and use it, as Pakistan has done for decades, as a foreign policy tool. India should also use its economic clout by threatening to step up the heat on Pakistan which should immediately dismantle the terrorism network on its soil. Pakistan should also be stopped from its border violations whose frequency is increasing. Firing across the Indo-Pak border by Pakistani army is a ruse to cover the infiltration of terroriststs that are trying to enter India.
Pakistanis should understand that if their country is once branded a sponsor of terrorism, it will face all kinds of sanctions, including denial of travel to Pakistanis to any other country, freezing of its assets in many of the countries bound by U.N. resolution, no banking and financial traffic, etc. etc. The implications will also mean that Pakistan's currency will come under tremendous pressure to devalue. Already, the Pakistani rupee has losts its value in relation to the greenback. The terrorism label will have a snowball reaction on other segments of its economy.
If India is so sure, why dont they take this matter in international court????
@sensible: come here Mumbai.
No ties with Pakistan till Dawood is extradited to India ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As Mrs Clinton said, we have to judge Pakistan on its actions and not on its words.
@boco: More so to Maharashtra - that's why Ajmal Kasab and the rest of his Pakistani brothers decided to attack Mumbai (which is part of Maharashtra, just in case) - come and see for yourself before writing the output you mind processes from the trash your government and media feed you about India and all things Indian. And I mean this very seriously, not being sarcastic here.
It is not without basis that Pakistan is called the global capital of terrorism. Unless citizens learn to differentiate between truth and fiction the govt will keep taking people for a ride.
Dawood Ibrahim daughter was married to Pakistani Cricket icon Javed Miadad's son in a function on grand scale and so he is freely moving with gliterrati of Pakistan.Fromer President Pravez Mushraff in an interview in NDTV admitted that people of Pakistan appreciated Dawood Ibrahim's heroics and did not rejected his presence in Karachi. Indian Government has provided details of his Pakistani Passport and locatiion and picture of his house in Cliffton are of Karachi several times, which has been published in newspaper also.Recently Zardari was asking for regioinal cooperation for finishing terrorism in south asia, it his oppurtunity to act.
@sensible: gang wars??? lol .............dont confuse mumbai with karachi friend..........mumbai is relatively very calm ...................
Pakistanis are also providing safe heavens to Malik Ishaq. He has killed more innocent than Ibrahim. I just really don't know who run my country and why is it so damn out of control
"liberal, democratic and diverse"....does that also apply to Maharashtra?
Yes he will be touring india in december see if you can catch him.
What utter nonsense by the Indian Govt.!!! Dawood Ibrahim is not in Pakistan the same way Osama Bin Laden was not in Abbottabad.
"India claims Pakistan providing safe haven to Dawood Ibrahim: Report"
misleading title, it should have been: India knows Pakistan is providing safe haven to Dawood Ibrahim.
and yet they talk about cricket match and liberal Visa agreement.
mumbai is the hub of gang wars and underworld, why don't he crack down on them first, Pak has nothing to do with inbrahim, he is indian citizen. Indian ministers always blame Pak for their incompetance.
