Row in Indian Parliament shows narrow mindedness, extremism: Hafiz Saeed on journalist meeting him
- 5 years ago
26/11 terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed on Monday said that the uproar in the Indian Parliament over his informal meeting with senior journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik, shows the narrow mindedness and extremism that prevails among Indian politicians.
"We meet everyone with an open heart, whoever wants to meet; regardless of nation, belief or religion. Sadly, so called 'Secular' India is unable to bear an informal meeting of her journalist, Vaidik; another example of Indian narrow mindedness," tweeted Saeed.
"Row in Indian parliament over a journalists meeting with us shows the extremism, narrow mindedness of their politicians. Utterly Shameful," he further tweeted.
"We discussed how all 26/11 evidences provided by India have been rejected and asked Mr.Vaidik, why India does not respect Pakistani courts?" he tweeted.
"Dr.Vaidik asked if we would protest Modi's visit to Pakistan, on which I replied, "We don't participate in such 'politics and protests"," he said.
Earlier today, the Congress Party created an uproar in the Rajya Sabha over Ved Pratap Vaidak meeting with Hafiz Saeed.
Though the government clarified that it had nothing to do with it, Congress members, including Anand Sharma continued to insist on the statement saying the matter is related to the security concerns of the country.
Amidst noisy scenes, Chairman Mohammad Hamid Ansari adjourned the house first for 15 minutes and then till noon.
Vaidik earlier said that Parliament had every right to take up any issue, including the issue of his recent meeting with 26/11 terrorist mastermind Hafiz Saeed in Lahore, but added that nothing would come out of it.
Talking exclusively to ANI, Vaidik said, "They can raise the issue in Parliament, I welcome it. But nothing will come out of it. I travelled with Salman Khurshid, Mani Shankar Aiyar. Mani Aiyar is like my big brother, and he took me to a seminar."
"As a journalist, I have had many friends there (in Pakistan). I met Hafeez Saeed when my friends told me to do so, and I did it for the benefit of my country. I put my life into danger by meeting him with high security," Vaidik added.
