It was not a policy shift or a cabinet decision. It came out of nowhere – an offhand remark by former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto that Pakistan could extradite Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India as a “goodwill gesture”. No roadmap. No preparation. Just a sentence. But it triggered a flurry of speculation. Some called it bold. Others dismissed it as noise. For Islamabad, it was awkward. For New Delhi, it was familiar – a promise that means nothing in practice.
