Terming Mumbai terror attack accused Hafiz Saeed as a "rogue", Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad said he should have been in jail for his utterances.
"Hafiz Saeed is rogue. He has only one job to do - to sit in Pakistan and conspire against India.... Which area to attack, which leader to assassinate, which area to blowup...," Azad told reporters here today.
Azad was replying to the question posed by journalists that Hafiz Saeed, one of the world's most-wanted men, on national television today in Pakistan, blamed India for the massacre of children at a school in Peshawar and vowed revenge.
"He (Saeed) should have been in the jail. It is unfortunate that Pakistan is only resorting verbal assurances on one side and wanted good realtions with India but does totally reverse of it," Azad said.
He also hit out at BJP by saying it will not cross double digits.
He was flanked by JKPCC Chief Saifuddin Soz.
