Pakistan’s former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that his country had no objection to extraditing “individuals of concern” to India as a confidence-building measure, as long as New Delhi showed willingness to cooperate in the process.

Bilawal, the chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party, made the comments in an interview with ‘Al Jazeera’, responding to a question about extraditing Lashkar-e-Tayyeba chief Hafiz Saeed and Jaish-e-Muhammad chief Masood Azhar as possible concessions and good-faith gestures to India, Dawn newspaper reported. “As part of a comprehensive dialogue with Pakistan, where terrorism is one of the issues we discuss, I am sure Pakistan would not be opposed to any of these things,” Bilawal said.
