Responding to questions about Shinde's statement that India was taking help of America's FBI to bring back Dawood from Pakistan, Modi had said, “Can such things be achieved through media. Are these things to be revealed through newspapers. Did Americans talk to (Osama) bin Laden? Did America hold a press conference on its plans about tracking down bin Laden?
“What has the government done? They don't have mininum maturity. I am ashamed that the Home Minister made such statements.”
Lekhi said the words attributed to Modi by the Pakistani minister were incorrect.
“Further in the statement he (Pakistan minister) has also said that Narendra Modihas said that if he wins the elections he would bring fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim to India to be tried for 1993 blasts in Mumbai. Did you read or did you hear what Mr Modi has said? From where does all this come from? Who is briefing Mr Chaudhary,” Lekhi said.
She said whether the fugitive underworld don is brought back to India or not, is beyond the realm of Pakistan unless it accepts his presence in that country or is involved in the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
