QURESHI-SAEED 2 LAST

On India giving evidence to Pakistan on Saeed's meeting
with Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive during the
26/11 attacks, before the strikes, Qureshi said "we would want
a case if we would want to proceed in a manner which is
foolproof because we would want the prosecution to lead to the
conviction."

When asked what can be expected from his meeting with
Krishna, he said Pakistan was heading to the talks with a
"positive mind" and all depended on the Indian side.

"It's up to the Indian mindset. Pakistan has a positive
mind. If the Indian leadership shows vision, sky is the
limit," he said.

On conflicting reports in Pakistan about Saeed's arrest,
Qureshi said "no body said that he is under house arrest.
Action has been taken against him. He made a provocative
statement in Faisalabad and the government of Punjab has taken
action. They have filed two cases against him and he is under
observation. His movements are restricted."

Rejecting the impression that Pakistan's action against
Saeed was only window dressing, Qureshi said "I am not in a
mood to window dress... I am meeting Foreign Minister
(Krishna). I am going to discuss with him what his views are
on the back-channel. I have my views on the back-channel... I
will share my thoughts and my views with him."

Pakistan is ready to move on and is "very clear" that it
is not going to allow "a bunch of terrorists or non-state
actors" to dictate policy to it, Qureshi said. "We will
determine our own agenda and we have an agenda of peace and
development in South Asia." PTI
