Take the next step

The CBI deserves kudos for aptly handling the extradition of Abu Salem, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, from Portugal.

Now the External Affairs Ministry should, through diplomatic channels, enable the CBI to bring Dawood Ibrahim to India from Pakistan.

Dawood Ibrahim, named in the U.S.' list of terrorists, has still managed a safe home in Pakistan.

Pakistan's plea that it is ignorant about his whereabouts is a cruel joke on the sentiments of the countless Indians who were directly or indirectly affected by his reign of terror while in India.

It would be a big boost for India-Pakistan relations if the underworld don is extradited.

In spite of the special judge's order that the CBI should not speak to the media about the case, regular reports appear in newspapers as well as on television about Salem's "statements," about the contents of the bags and dairies in his possession, about what food was served to Monica Bedi in jail, etc. All this should stop.
