Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back terrorists from Pakistan with him when he visits the country next year for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) summit.
"The Prime Minister while returning should bring back terrorists wanted in the country in his own plane from Pakistan the way they were taken to Kandahar on a flight," the UP parliamentary affairs and urban development minister told reporters in Jhansi on Sunday after attending an iftar party.
Khan was referring to the release of three terrorists including Maulana Masood Azhar, who were taken out of the country in a special plane, by the Indian government in exchange for the lives of the 155 passengers and the crew members of Indian Airlines plane IC-814 during Kandahar hijack.
