Enough proof given to Pak on 26/11: Indian PM

New Delhi, Apr 14 (PTI) India Tuesday slammed Pakistan
for claiming that the evidence provided on Mumbai terror
attack was not sufficient with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
saying Islamabad should act as "enough" information has been
given.

"We have given enough information for them to act and
it is for them to act," Singh told reporters on the sidelines
of the civil investiture ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

He was asked to comment on Pakistan's contention that
the information provided by India was insufficient and it
should be given more details to enable it to take the probe
forward.

Reacting to the same question, Home Minister P
Chidambaram rubbished Pakistan's contention and said if their
agencies could not carry out the investigations, it should
allow the American agency FBI to do so.

"What is the use of a government which keeps on saying
that the evidence is not sufficient? The evidence remains in
Pakistan. The persons to be investigated are in Pakistan."

"If Pakistani investigating agencies cannot do
anything, why don't they let FBI," Chidambaram said.

FBI has already requested access to the persons which
Pakistan claims have arrested in connection with the 26/11
attacks but Islamabad has turned it down.

In a tongue-in-cheek remark, the Home Minister "if
they cannot investigate, will they allow Indian agencies to
investigate?"

A month after India gave a detailed 401-page response
to Pakistan's 30 queries relating to Mumbai attack, Islamabad
yesterday claimed the information was not sufficient to pursue
its probe.

Pakistan's Interior Ministry chief Rahman Malik said
India should provide the statement made by Ajmal Amir Kasab,
the lone terrorist held during the attack, to the judge.

He also claimed India had not given details of SIM
cards and coordinates of GPS used by the ten terrorists who
attacked Mumbai.

He claimed DNA reports of Kasab and a slain terrorist,
Ismail, were identical.

New Delhi sees these as "delaying and diversionary"
tactics by Islamabad.

"Delaying tactics and invoking purely technical issues
put a question mark on sincerity and intent of Pakistan,"
Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma has said.

"We are waiting for tangible actions by Pakistan and
not excuses," he said. PTI MS
