IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

New Delhi, March 14, IRNA -- A day after India handed over to Pakistan more evidence regarding the Mumbai terror attacks, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said he expected Islamabad to follow up its commitment with 'tangible action'.

"Words and commitments should be followed by tangible action," he told a press conference in New Delhi when asked whether he was satisfied with Pakistan's handling of the investigation into the Mumbai attacks.

Mukherjee pointed out that India has been demanding Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure on its soil, handover to Delhi fugitives under Indian law, and bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror strikes to justice.

"Question is not (about) objective satisfaction or dissatisfaction. It is a question of certain hard facts," he said.
