Hafiz Saeed issue rocks Parliament

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 15 � With the Opposition seeking to corner it, the Government today condemned the meeting that a journalist had with 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed and said it has sought a report from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad about whether they were aware of this, reports PTI.

The issue rocked both Houses of Parliament for the second day today with the Opposition raising questions over the meeting of the journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik, known to be close to BJP supporter and yoga guru Ramdev, claiming that �revelations� are coming out day by day.

The issue led to disruptions and several adjournments in both Houses since yesterday when news reports about the meeting emerged.

�The Government of India totally disapproves of this meeting of Ved Pratap Vaidik. The government condemns this meeting with the chief accused of the Mumbai terror attack,� External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told the Rajya Sabha.
