Yes, Masood Azhar is in Pakistan, admits Pak FM Qureshi

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has admitted that terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar is in Pakistan. “He (Masood Azhar) is in Pakistan. According to my information, he is very unwell. He’s unwell to the extent that he cannot leave his house because he is really unwell. So, that’s the information I have,” Qureshi told in an interview.

Qureshi added that Pakistan will take action against Azhar if India provides solid, inalienable evidence against him. “If they give us evidence which is acceptable to the courts of Pakistan after all we will have to justify they will go to the court. If they have solid, inalienable evidence, share it with us so that we can convince the independent judiciary of Pakistan,” he said.

Talking about the decision made by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday where he announced that Islamabad will release Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan as a peace gesture, Qureshi said, “This was a goodwill gesture and we feel this should be an expression of Pakistans willingness to deescalate. We are willing to hand him over as soon as possible.”
