Pak should do more to bring to book Mumbai attackers: Menon
Lalit K Jha
Washington, Mar 12 (PTI) India Thursday said "much
more" needs to be done by Pakistan to bring to book
perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage and asked Islamabad to take
"credible steps" to dismantle terror infrastructure in its
territory.
India's Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon, who
discussed the progress in the probe into Mumbai strikes with
senior US diplomats and officials, said India will give more
material to Pakistan on the 2611 attacks as asked by it.
"From our point of view there are two clear goals that
we work to and hope that our friends would work to as well,"
Menon told reporters at the end of his four-day visit to the
US.
One is bringing the perpetrators to justice and
secondly India would like to see credible action by Islamabad
to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism in Pakistan, he
said.
After India had given on January 5 a dossier to
Pakistan on the Mumbai attacks, Islamabad sent a set of 30
questions seeking reply from New Delhi.
"Pakistan has started an investigation, it has taken
some actions. It has told us about that, and has also asked us
some questions, to which we would be giving them reply and
give them more material, now that the charge sheet have been
filed," he said.
"It's a positive development. But there is much more
to go. We hope that they would continue to do the right thing
and see through to the end to bring the perpetrators to
justice and to take credible steps to dismantle infrastructure
of terrorism," the Foreign Secretary said.
In response to a question, Menon said Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT) also came up during his discussions with US officials.
"It is one of the group, which presents a threat not just to
us, but to the entire globe," he said.
"We have worked with the US after the Mumbai attacks,
on the counter-terrorism front and on trying to bring the
perpetrators to justice," Menon said.
"Counter-terrorism is one of the issues, which has
consistently been on our agenda with the US -- what we each
could do individually; what we could do together and what we
would like the international community to do. We did
discuss it in considerable detail," Menon said. PTI LKJ
