NEW DELHI: Union home minister Rajnath Singh , in his clarification to the Lok Sabha on the government's controversial reply on Dawood Ibrahim, is likely to echo the assessment of the intelligence agencies that the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts accused is holed up in Pakistan. At the same time, he is expected to concede that despite India repeatedly providing Islamabad with details of his known addresses in Pakistan and his multiple Pakistani passports, it has not extended any cooperation in locating and arresting him, thus making his extradition impossible.The reply, expected on Monday or Tuesday, will set the record straight on what the government has been trying to convey on efforts to extradite the underworld don. Though the home ministry maintains that the reply was technically and factually correct as it was made in the context of the query regarding the status of his extradition, there is a realization among senior officials that it could have been "drafted better". "The reply could have been used as an opportunity to place on record that Dawood is ensconced in Pakistan and that the neighbour has not been cooperating in locating and arresting him…we should have emphasized that extradition cannot happen unless the subject is located and arrested," said a senior home ministry official.Inputs with the TOI suggest that though top bureaucrats in the home ministry were in favour of clarifying the reply on Tuesday itself, the political bosses were not too enthused about the idea and wanted the matter to rest there. However, with the opposition now cornering the government and even Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit claiming that Islamabad's stand that the most-wanted don was not in its territory had been vindicated, Rajnath Singh is now convinced about the need for a clarification to set the record straight.On Tuesday, minister of state for home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary had, in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, said Dawood could not be extradited as he was yet to be located. The claim flew in the face of India's consistent stand that the don is holed up in Pakistan, living under the due patronage of the ISI. His known locations in Pakistan have been shared in dossiers sent to Pakistan from time to time, the last being in 2012. Even the Interpol red-corner notice and UNSC list specify his multiple addresses in Pakistan, including his Clifton residence in Karachi, though Indian agencies now say that Dawood keeps shifting between his various houses in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
