India on Monday chose the ongoing Interpol General Assembly in Rome to obliquely hit out at Pakistan for giving shelter to underworld don and 1993 Mumbai blast mastermind Dawood Ibrahim.
New Delhi also pitched for taking action against "states, which sponsor, support or provide safe haven to terrorists".
Though New Delhi did not directly name Islamabad for extending refuge to Dawood, it pointed fingers at the neighbouring country for not honouring the RCN against the dreaded fugitive. The remark also put a question mark on the effectiveness of the Interpol notice system which is not uniformly implemented by the member countries.
Addressing the Assembly, Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said, "I am constrained to point out that in spite of regular dialogue and credible evidence, the masterminds of one of the most heinous act of terror of last century i.e. 1993 Mumbai Bomb Blasts in which 257 people died and 713 were injured, are still sitting in safe heavens and yet to be brought to book".
He, in the presence of his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik, said, "Their presence in a neighboring country is well known and Interpol red notices against them, who are Indian nationals, are pending since 1993".
Stating that the fight against terrorism had to be long term, comprehensive and sustained efforts, Shinde said, "Strengthening of international cooperation is vital to ensure that action is not restricted simply to the perpetrators but also encompassed States, which sponsor, support or provide safe haven to terrorists".
India has 138 pending RCNs of terrorists (including the 26\11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed and several other Pakistani terrorists) who are absconding and are suspected to be holed up in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia and other countries. Altogether, India has 670 Interpol notices pending of which 577 are RCNs.
Shinde, who later met Malik on sidelines of the Assembly, also emphasized that "unless the international cooperation leads to visible results, our objectives (fight against terrorism) may remain unachieved".
He noted that be it the Mumbai bomb blasts of 1993, the 26/11 attack in Mumbai or the 9/11 attacks in US, the "Inter-State nature of planning involved in all of them underscores the need for increased cooperation and coordination amongst intelligence and investigative agencies".
He added, "Most major terror attacks, successful or aborted from its stage of conceptualization to execution have their footprints in different countries". The remark reminded how India had suffered a spate of terror attacks that were planned in Pakistan like 26\11 or hijack of IC-814 or many other incidents in its hinterland.
