New Delhi: Opinion was divided on Twitter after Pakistan media reported on Wednesday that Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar was detained
Many from India doubted the sincerety of Pakistan's action-- after all there was a precedence in the 26/11 attact probe when terror supects were held one day and released the next.
Doubts grew when even hours after Geo TV reported the "detention" , the was no official word from the Pakistan government.
Many on Twitter called this a drama by Pakistan while others concluded that India had succeeded in getting Pakistan to act against those who attacked the Pathankot airbase on January 2.
At the end of the day India decided to delay its decison on whether to go ahead with Foreign Secretary-level talls with Pakistan, a not of caution echoed by many.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
The arrest of Masood Azhar, is being projected by out TRP driven media as a great victory for India.In fact it is nothing but a drama.— Markandey Katju (@mkatju) January 13, 2016
Hafiz Saeed was similarly "detained" post 26/11. He had keema samosas and chai and walked out few days later. Same with Masood Azhar— Raghav Chopra (@AarSee) January 13, 2016
So Maulana Masood Azhar has been taken into 'Protective custody' in Pakistan. This is just another hogwash by Pakistan establishment.— Gautam Trivedi (@Gotham3) January 13, 2016
Last time LeT Terrorist Zakiur-Rehman Lakhvi was in Jail, and he gave birth to a child,now is this the resting time for Maulana Masood Azhar— Oxomiya Jiyori (@SouleFacts) January 13, 2016
How long before Masood Azhar will be free? 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months. I am reasonably optimistic- 3 months. Hope I am proved wrong— Divya Kumar Soti (@DivyaSoti) January 13, 2016
