India has provided to Pakistan many a times the relevant details about the whereabouts of Mr. Dawood Ibrahim - his residences and other properties both in Pakistan and Dubai.  India along with the US State Department and United Nations have declared him an international terrorist.  In spite of all this, Pakistan has not and it seems is not willing to take any action to hand him over to the Indian government.  Also, this writer is baffled that there is no action or pressure put by the US government or the United Nations authorities on the Pakistani government to hand over this culprit to the Indian government.  Instead, as we know from the dossier presented by the Indian government, Pakistani government has issued its passports not only to Mr. Dawood Ibrahim but to all his family members also.  What does it say?  It shows that there is a collusion between this culprit and the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI to provide him full protection.  Pakistan does not care about what US and UN think about this matter.  It also shows that Pakistan has no interest in ameliorating relationship between India and Pakistan.  Pakistan does not want to be part of the solution, it remains to be part of the problem. Therefore in my opinion, any effort to hold any dialogues with the Pakistani authorities is a waste of time, energy and resources.
