Hafiz Saeed's release is an attempt by Pak to 'mainstream' UN-proscribed terrorists






India on Thursday expressed "outrage" at Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed's imminent release from house arrest+ in Pakistan, terming it an attempt by the neighbour to "mainstream" terrorists, reported news agency ANI.



"Saeed's release appears to be an attempt by the Pakistani system to mainstream proscribed terrorists. It is evident that Pakistan has not changed its policy of shielding and supporting non-state actors, and its true face is visible for all to see," ANI quoted MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar as saying.



Kumar added that Saeed's release confirms the neighbouring country's "lack of seriousness" in bringing perpetrators of terror to justice, reported PTI.



He said India was "outraged that a self-confessed and UN-proscribed terrorist has been allowed to walk free."
