IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New Delhi, Jun 23, IRNA -- Ahead of a series of bilateral meetings, India demanded "credible" action by Pakistan in Mumbai terror attacks case, saying the core issue of addressing the country's concerns on the issue will be part of these parleys.
Asserting that India has been stressing for "credible" action by Pakistan on evidence provided by New Delhi on those involved in the Mumbai terror attacks on 26 November 2008, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said it has been conveyed to the other side.
"We have underlined to Pakistan to take this evidence and additional evidence on board seriously and take substantive action in response to what we have conveyed.
"Obviously, this issue will form part of the discussions with the Pakistani government during the forthcoming visits when I will meet Foreign secretary Salman Bashir and Home Minister P Chidambaram meets his counterpart Rahman Malik. Obviously, our concerns on this core issue will be conveyed and discussed," Rao said.
Rao is leaving Wednesday for her parleys with Bashir on Thursday while Chidambaram will leave on Friday for SAARC Interior Ministers conference on Saturday.
India recently gave eleventh dossier to Pakistan containing additional information on those involved in the terror attacks in 2008, including Jamaat-Ud-Dawa Chief Hafiz Saeed. It also provided a copy of the court judgement sentencing Ajmal Kasab, the lone captured terrorist in the terror attacks, to death.
After the Mumbai terror attacks the foreign secretaries of the two countries met first time on the 25th of February in New Delhi. This is considered as the first step towards restoring trust and confidence between the two countries.
