The Bharatiya Janata Party, on whose watch Azhar had been pawned in a bid to secure the lives of Indian hostages in 1999, certainly thinks so. Moreover, other dispensations, the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance is an example, had also achieved success while acting against terrorist organizations and their leaders. The jubilation notwithstanding, this is also an hour of reflection. Saeed and the LeT seem to have suffered minimally in spite of the sanctions that have been imposed against them. China’s willingness to remove the technical hold that had kept Azhar off the UN hook comes before the second informal summit with India.
