Advani wants Syed Salahuddin deported to India
 Indian Opposition leader and former deputy prime minister Lal Krishna Advani on Monday called for deportation of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin from Pakistan to India for trial in various militant acts. Citing reports of his recent arrest in Pakistan as proof of his presence in the country, Advani said Salahuddin's name was mentioned in the list of 20 wanted people, including Dawood Ibrahim, given to Pakistan.
| Right. The Paks are gonna give him up. This is just political background noise, a game of "you know that we know that you know..." |
Initiating a debate in the Lok Sabha on an adjournment motion on violence in Doda and Udhampur districts, Advani also opposed any proposal of 'redeployment' of forces in Jammu and Kashmir. "As Pakistan has always dubbed Salahuddin as an Indian since he had contested an election in Jammu and Kashmir, the Government of India should ask Islamabad to hand him over since he has been guilty of many terrorist acts in India," Advani said. Advani said India should ask Pakistan to dismantle 'terrorist infrastructure'. He referred to Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee's statement that 59 terrorist training camps still existed across the Line of Control (LoC).
