Mumbai: Leader of Opposition and senior BJP leader L K Advani, on Wednesday, demanded that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim be brought to India to stand trial in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case.
Dawood has been named absconding accused in the March 12, 1993 serial blasts case in which CBI has alleged that the underworld don masterminded the explosions to destablise the country.
After several claims by India that Dawood was hiding in Pakistan, the neighbouring country has denied reports that he was holed up in the country.
Just like the 9/11 attacks were not just an attack on New York, but the entire US, Tuesday's serial blasts in Mumbai were not just an attack on the commercial capital but the entire nation, Advani said.
The senior BJP leader, who was here on a day-long visit, would visit the blast sites and hospitals to enquire about the condition of those injured in the high-intensity blasts.
Replying to a query on Union Home Secretary's statement that Indo-Pak peace process will continue, Advani said, "If you want to deal firmly with terrorism we should not give an impression that you are ready to make any compromise."
"The image of being a soft nation encourages terrorism," the former BJP president said.
