The hijackers demanded the release of three Pakistani prisoners languishing in Indian jails, Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Masood Azhar. Masood Azhar, shortly after his release, made a public address to an estimated 10,000 people in Karachi. Masood Azhar went on to establish Jaish-e-Mohammad or the “Army of Mohammad”. The case of Masood Azhar is curious. Now India has cajoled and urged France to propose a ban to be placed on Masood Azhar.
