Pak won't succumb to pressure on Mumbai attacks: Qureshi

Rezaul H Laskar

Islamabad/Lahore, Sep 17 (PTI) In tough posturing ahead
of Indo-Pak Foreign Ministers' meeting in New York, Pakistan
Thursday asserted that it will not accept any precondition set
by India for resuming talks or buckle under pressure mounted
on the Mumbai attack issue.

India is mistaken if it thinks anything can be achieved
by piling up pressure on Pakistan, Pakistan Foreign Minister
Shah Mahmood Qureshi told reporters in Lahore ahead of his
departure for the US, where he will meet his Indian
counterpart S M Krishna on the sidelines of the UN General
Assembly session.

While Pakistan has been insisting on early resumption of
the dialogue process stalled since November last year, India
has made it clear that this was not possible till Pakistan
takes action against the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks.
"We want a dialogue (with India) but we are not willing
to accept any conditions... We want talks in an open and
friendly atmosphere. They (India) are mistaken if they think
they can achieve anything by putting pressure on Pakistan,"
Qureshi said. (More) PTI RHL
