Pak has to show visible results on Mumbai investigation: PM

New Delhi, Mar 31 (PTI) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh Tuesday made it clear that composite dialogue with
Pakistan could not be possible until Islamabad shows "visible
results" with regard to investigation in the Mumbai terror
attacks.

"They have to show visible results with regard to
investigation in the 26/11 event that the government of
Pakistan is doing everything possible to bring culprits to
book," he said.

Singh was responding to a question on Pakistan President
Asif Ali Zardari's emphasis on the need for early resumption
of composite dialogue process.

The Prime Minister said that Islamabad should convince
New Delhi about their "sincerity and determination" to deal
with the menace of terrorism.

On the terror strike on a police training centre in
Lahore, the Prime Minister said India and Pakistan will have
to jointly face the scourge of terrorism.

"I sincerely wish that the government and the people
of Pakistan will have the courage and resources to defeat the
forces of terrorism," the Prime Minister said on the sidelines
of presentation of Padma Awards in Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Singh, who will attend the G-20 summit in London on the
international financial crisis, said terrorism will be a
"major issue" during his talks with US President Barack Obama,
whom he will meet for the first time on the sidelines of the
summit on Thursday.

He said all bilateral and regional issues and India's
relations with its neighbours besides the menace of terrorism
will figure at the talks.

Asked about the G-20 Agenda, Singh said the world
economy, which is facing the worst recession this year, should
be put on the path of sustained growth.

He said India, which recorded nine per cent growth rate,
should once again resume the sustained growth. PTI MS
