In response to President Musharraf's request for evidence of Pakistanicomplicity in the Mumbai blasts, the government has demanded that Dawood Ibrahimand Syed Salahuddin should be deported to India. It is a pathetic response. Andseeking deportation of Salahuddin sounds like a sick joke. It revives memoriesof the criminal complicity of the Indian Establishment in allowing terrorism togrow from its modest beginnings.
