NEW DELHI: An Indian official spokesperson said on Sunday that New Delhi has been demanding Pakistan to take action against Hafiz Saeed who is allegedly “one of masterminds of Mumbai terror attacks”.
Responding to queries regarding a reported statement by the Pakistan Foreign Minister that India has not demanded the arrest of Hafiz Saeed and that the issue did not even figure in the recently concluded Foreign Secretary- level talks with Pakistan, the Official Spokesperson said India had handed over dossiers to Pakistan containing compilation of evidence on alleged involvement of Hafiz Saeed in the terrorist attack.
“A dossier containing a compilation of evidence on the involvement of Hafiz Saeed in the terrorist attack was handed over to Pakistan on August 21, 2009 and his name featured prominently in yet another dossier handed over to the Pakistan Foreign Secretary during the talks on February 25, 2010,” the Spokesperson said.
Saeed’s activities including his recent “vitriolic and venomous statements” aimed at fomenting further acts of terrorism against India and the unhindered public space and freedom he enjoys in Pakistan was raised strongly by India during the Foreign Secretary-level talks, the spokesperson further added.
Pakistan has been demanding India to provide actionable evidence against suspects of Mumbai attacks but India has failed to provide such evidence which should stand the test of legal courts in Pakistan.

This Is Not Youtube, You could be staying in a country like US, UK or India but may not be able to watch every video on YouTube – that’s because the content owners have allowed access to that video only from certain countries or geographic regions.
If your computer’s IP address falls outside that geographic region, YouTube will display an error saying “This video is not available in your country” – this message has nothing to do with censorship, it’s the owner of the video clip who could be limiting access.
YouTube Filters in Action
For instance, this video clip (Armor For Sleep – Hold The Door), uploaded to YouTube by Warner Brothers, is probably not available outside US. Similarly, this BBC clip (Stop Calling it a Honeymoon) on YouTube can only be watched from UK.
BBC has mentioned the reason behind region filtering on their official BBC Channel – “Because of the way that the BBC is funded in the UK through the licence fee, we cannot make videos available outside of the UK”.
Similarly the Olympic Games channel on YouTube is blocked in countries like US because NBC has a deal to stream Olympic Games Live in those countries.
How to bypass YouTube Region Filtering ?
YouTube uses your computer IP address to determine your physical location / country. In order to bypass these country-specific restrictions on YouTube, try this trick:
