Reacting to the release of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed from Pakistan's jail, the Congress on Wednesday took a dig at Narendra Modi government, asking "where is the 56-inch chest and strong diplomacy now". The party said Pakistan was a principal conspirator in 2008 Mumbai terror attack, so it would not punish the "co-conspirator". Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said in Twitter: "The reason is clear. Pakistan is the protector of nefarious terrorists. Where is the 56-inch chest and strong diplomacy now."

Pakistani police officials escort the head of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) organisation Hafiz Saeed (C) as he arrives at a court in Lahore on November 22, 2017. A Pakistani court has ordered the release of one of the alleged masterminds of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, in which more than 160 people died, less than a year after he was placed under house arrest.
