All the overwhelming evidences, which clearly shows Lakhvi's role and conspiracy in the bomb attack in Mumbai has not been properly presented in the Pakistani court by the Pakistani agencies. This is a case which is worrying us. The Pakistani agencies should present all the incriminating evidences in the court of law," Rijiju said.
