India’s Stance on Terrorists Killed In Pakistan by ‘Unknown Gunmen’: Those Wanted Should Face Indian Legal System

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responded to the recent killing of terrorists in Pakistan, emphasizing that individuals wanted by Indian authorities should return to India to “face the legal system,” as stated by MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi on Thursday. While addressing the media, Bagchi refrained from commenting on the developments in Pakistan surrounding the killing of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Hanzla Adnan, who orchestrated the 2015 attack on a BSF convoy in Udhampur.

Hanzla Adnan met his demise at the hands of unknown gunmen in Karachi on the nights of December 2 and 3, sparking questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.

In response to inquiries about Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun’s threat to attack Parliament by December 13, the MEA underscored India’s seriousness in handling such threats. However, the ministry expressed reluctance to “amplify or give credence to extremists,” clarifying that the matter had been raised with US and Canadian authorities. Bagchi explained the delicate balance, stating, “Extremists and terrorists have the tendency to want media coverage on an issue.”

He highlighted the provision of legal and consular assistance and shared that the ambassador had secured consular access to all eight individuals in prison on December 3. Despite acknowledging the sensitivity of the matter, Bagchi pledged ongoing attention and transparency, stating, “Whatever we can share, we will do so.”
