BJP described the arrest of Jaish-e-Mohammad Chief Maulana Masood Azhar as a positive step. Party national secretary and media cell in-charge Shrikant Sharma said if the media report of the Azhar’s arrest is correct, then it is a positive step. He said it is a good thing for the peace-loving and development-oriented people of the two countries.
Mr. Sharma noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had conveyed the nation’s anger to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif. Pakistan’s Prime Minister had assured him of action. He said these arrests have come within 13 days of the incident.
