LeT operations commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind, on Friday walked free from a Pakistani jail after spending nearly six years in detention. Lakhvi was released from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, a day after Lahore High Court (LHC) suspended his detention and ordered his immediate release. India had strongly reacted to the court’s decision, saying it “eroded†the value of assurances repeatedly conveyed to it by Pakistan on cross-border terrorism. Jamaat-ud-Dawa supporters were present outside the prison to receive 55-year-old Lakhvi. The court yesterday suspended the Punjab government’s order to detain Lakhvi under a security act and ordered his immediate release. Earlier on Friday, Lakhvi’s counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi had said that the government was left with no other ‘legal option’ but to release his client. “The government is left with no other ‘legal option’ but to release his client after the LHC suspended his detention. Neither the government nor the Adiala Jail authorities can violate the court’s order this time,†he said. Lakhvi and six others have been charged with planning and executing the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people and wounding over 300. Lakhvi, a close relative of LeT founder and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, was arrested in December 2008 and was indicted along with the six others on November 25, 2009 in connection with the 26/11 attack case. The trial has been underway since 2009.

Its pretty obvious that the Pak Establishment will not leave the way of terrorism.About time we just break all relations with Pakistan and sea the borders.And also make it mandatory for any company working in India to give a declaration that any revenue generated in India wont be used in Pakistan in anyway.

Exactly. They made big statements' date=' had all politicians on the same podium and talked tough. One lesson to learn about Pakistan is that they will never learn anything.[/quote'] It is too late for them to change anything. In over 65 years such things have got entrenched into their system. Even if one or two people/institution would want to change, everything else, the entire system will be against it. And the saddest thing is that they the price for these many times over. Their country is only for their army and ISI benefit, their people will suffer It's almost like you can see them on a path to destruction and can do nothing about it

Check out some of the operations done by Mossad... and our Raw can't even kill off Maulana Azhar and Lakhvi
One is against Palestine terrorists a country which doesn't has any recognition in the world as country and army. The other one has a full fledged army and intelligence units.

I K Gujaral destroyed India's covert capability in Pakistan.After that Pakistan started to spread its terror activities through out India as we didnt have any counter intelligence network in Pakistan.After 2008 it was decided that India will build a covert capability inside Pakistan.
