The reporters asked Mohsin Butt, "Ek sa sawaal hai... kya... chota sa sawaal... aap ek baar sun le... aapki marzi hogi dena ya na dena... kya yeh process extradition ka badega bharat ke saath... Dawood Ibrahim ko aap India ko sopenge... excellency...

Will Pakistan handover Dawood Ibrahim to India... excellency, Dawood and Hafiz Saeed are most wanted in India... will you handover them to India)
