Mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bear hugs to US President Donald Trump, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the PM’s “hugplomacy” has failed to prevent Pakistan from releasing Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed from house arrest.
In a tweet, the Gandhi scion said: “Narendrabhai, बात नहीं बनी. Terror mastermind is free. President Trump just delinked Pak military funding from LeT. Hugplomacy fail. More hugs urgently needed.”

The Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) head, who carries a USD 10 million American bounty for his role in terror activities, was freed after the government decided against detaining him further in any case. He was under detention since January.
Coming out of house arrest, the JuD chief spewed venom against India and said he would gather people across Pakistan for the “cause of Kashmir” and try to help Kashmiris get their “destination of freedom”.
Hours later, the US demanded that Pakistan must arrest Saeed and charge him for his crimes.
Saeed was the mastermind of 2008 Mumbai attacks that left 166 people dead. Ten terrorists, including Ajmal Kasab, had gone on a killing spree in the financial capital after reaching the city from Karachi by sea.
