Kasab's confession result of diplomatic offensive: Cong

New Delhi, July 20 (PTI) With Ajmal Kasab pleading guilty
to his role in the Mumbai terror attacks, Congress Monday said
this was a result of the diplomatic offensive as India had
taken up the issue at the international fora.

"India had raised the issue at the international fora
... The dossier had said it all," party spokesman Abhishek
Singhvi said.

He said Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari had accepted
that the neighbouring country was used for terror activities.

"This was not a small achievement," he said.

On a query about BJP's statement that Kasab's confession
was admissible in court as he was booked under MCOCA even as
the government was refusing to give assent to GUJCOCA, Singhvi
said the people have understood and rejected it.

"This is trivialisation...I don't want to get into it,"
he said, comparing the BJP to an old tape recorder whose tape
has got jammed, leading to the same voice again and again. PTI
