New Delhi, Dec 19 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said in Parliament that India has conveyed strong concerns to Pakistan on the issue of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvis bail.

PM Modi said that India had felt pain no less than Pakistan over the dastardly act of terror in which as many as 148 school children were killed in Peshawar this week.

Lakhvi was the key accused for the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai in 2008.

He said foreign minister Sushma Swaraj would make a detailed statement in Parliament on Monday.

An anti-terror court in Islamabad granted bail to Lakhvi on Thursday citing lack of adequate evidence against him, sources said.

The Pakistan government, however, said that it would appeal against the bail of Lakhvi in the Supreme Court.
