Pakistan's crackdown on Hafiz Saeed

India on Thursday slammed Pakistan's crackdown against Mumbai terror attacks mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed and his aides as "cosmetic steps", and said Islamabad's sincerity will be judged on the basis of its taking "verifiable, credible and irreversible action" on terror and not "half-hearted measures".

A day after the Punjab Counter Terrorism Department in Pakistan registered 23 cases relating to terror financing and facilitation against Saeed, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said India has seen such actions by Pakistan earlier too.
