New Delhi, July 8 (IANS) Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani said Sunday Pakistan's handing over wanted terrorists and outlaws will drastically improve relations with India.
In the latest post on his blog, Advani mentioned his meeting with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani and said Pakistan's providing a safe haven to terrorists was the biggest deterrent in the bilateral relations.
"...An even more distressing aspect of continuing Indo-Pak tension on the issue of terrorism is the safe haven Pakistan still provides to declared terrorists and absconders like Dawood Ibrahim," he said.
Citing the example of Saudi Arabia handing over Abu Jundal to India, Advani said: "If taking a cue from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan can hand over Dawood Ibrahim to India, it can overnight change public perception in India about Pakistan."
On his meeting with Jilani, Advani said he had told the visiting Pakistani diplomat that there "are numerous terrorist outfits active in Pakistan. There is no denying that lately more people are dying in Pakistan at the hands of terrorists than they are dying in India".
