Anas Mallick, Islamabad-based reporter for WION, had enquired if Ibrahim is in Pakistan or not. The Pakistan MoFA responded, &#8220;Dawood Ibrahim is not in Pakistan, I repeat, he is not in Pakistan.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/HAE8w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">archived link<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expert Opinion: Taha Siddiqui, Editor in chief, South Asia Press: &#8220;Dawood in Pakistan is an open secret&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Siddiqui, a Pakistani journalist in exile, told Alt News, &#8220;The addresses mentioned on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs order on August 18 and the one published in 2016 establish that Dawood Ibrahim is in Pakistan is not new information. Thus, the reportage by Indian media is misleading. However, the response by Pakistan&#8217;s MoFA is equally misleading because they didn&#8217;t mention Dawood Ibrahim while addressing the Indian media and used the phrase &#8220;certain listed individuals&#8221;. Pakistan&#8217;s MoFA added more ambiguity when they stated that &#8220;the order continues to list persons who are deceased&#8221;. But more crucially, MoFA response began by clarifying that the order is a part of their international obligations thus shying away from their accountability. The fact that Dawood Ibrahim is in Pakistan is an open secret. It&#8217;s high time Pakistan made it clear to the world. If Pakistan&#8217;s MoFA is confident that Dawood Ibrahim is not in Pakistan they should contest with the United Nations Security Council and the Council of European Union.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Pakistan&#8217;s claim that Dawood Ibrahim is not in the country is also questionable.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Other Indian media outlets that carried the misinformation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a
