MP and former Mumbai attack prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam targeted Pakistan.
Rajya Sabha MP and former Mumbai attack prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said on the anniversary of the Mumbai attacks, "17 years have passed since the attack. Every Indian remembers this day." I remember when we visited Pakistan, our government raised the issue of the Mumbai attacks. We inquired about the actions taken against those responsible and the conspirators. They arrested some people, but there is no information about the trials against them. Pakistan never revealed anything about this.
Ujjwal Nikam said, "People still don't know what happened to the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks. When we questioned the non-arrest of Hafiz Saeed and Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, they demanded evidence. We recorded David Headley's statement, and he clearly stated the links between the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) behind the Mumbai attacks. We sent all the dossiers to Pakistan, but no action was taken on them. Pakistan is still silent. If the Pakistani government believes in democracy, what are they afraid of?"
