Hafiz Talha Saeed, son of the notorious terrorist leader Hafiz Saeed, has publicly criticized Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto for his recent comments regarding the extradition of terrorist leaders to India. Bhutto, a prominent figure in Pakistan’s political landscape and a member of the Pakistan People’s Party, stated that Pakistan would be “more than happy” to extradite individuals like Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed if India cooperates. This statement has sparked controversy and backlash from certain quarters within Pakistan. In a video shared on social media platform X, Talha Saeed expressed his outrage, questioning Bhutto’s authority and intentions. He accused Bhutto of not being a “true Muslim” and demanded an apology for what he perceived as an affront to his father. Talha urged the “patriotic media” in Pakistan to critically analyze Bhutto’s statement, suggesting that it aligns with Western and Indian narratives that are detrimental to Pakistan’s national security. The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan over terrorism-related issues. Masood Azhar, leader of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed group, is one of India’s most-wanted terrorists, linked to several high-profile attacks. Despite Bhutto’s assertion that Pakistan is unaware of Azhar’s whereabouts, India maintains that terrorist organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba operate with impunity in Pakistan. Hafiz Saeed, leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba, is reportedly under house arrest in Pakistan, although this claim is disputed. His group has been implicated in numerous attacks, including the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in significant civilian casualties. The Pakistani government has consistently denied any state-sponsored support for these groups. Bhutto’s remarks have reignited debates about Pakistan’s role in combating terrorism and its relationship with India. As tensions persist, the international community continues to monitor developments closely.
