Pak should follow its commitment with tangible action: Pranab
New Delhi, Mar 14 (PTI) A day after India handed over to
Pakistan more evidence regarding the Mumbai terror attacks,
External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee 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 here 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 the 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.
"From day one, day one means the day I had a conversation
with my Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi, what we
want is the dismantling of the infrastructure facilities
available to terrorists located in Pakistan," Mukherjee said.
He said the evidence of dismantling of terror facilities
should be shared not only with India but also with the
international community.
"Second (issue) is fugitives of Indian law that they must
be handed over to us. Third, the perpetrators of the Mumbai
attacks must be brought to justice," Mukherjee said.
On Friday, India provided more evidence, including
forensic reports, to Pakistan and asked it to proceed fast in
prosecuting those behind the 26/11 carnage on the basis of the
"very comprehensive" and "solid" material.
Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon had handed over the
401-page dossier, containing replies to Pakistan's questions,
to Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik a month after
Islamabad posed the queries.
The second dossier include telephone conversations of the
10 attackers and their Pakistan-based handlers, fingerprints
and other details of the terrorists who struck in Mumbai
besides forensic analysis of GPS, ammunition and other
equipment used by the terrorists. PTI ETB
