Pak Not Serious about Punishing Perpetrators of 26/11: Chidambaram
Expressing disappointment over Pakistan’s inaction to punish perpetrators of last Novermber’s Mumbai terror attacks, India hopes that Islamabad will not formulate new queries as part of its dilly-dallying tactics.
“I hope that they will not be able to invent more questions,” Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said at a press conference.
He was answering a query about repeated questions raised by Pakistan on information provided by India on Mumbai terror attacks.
Expressing his disappointment with Pakistan, the Home Minister said that the sources of his displeasure are two – Islamabad’s “non-serious” approach to bring to book perpetrators of 26/11 attacks and presence of terror infrastructure across the border.
“Pakistan is not serious about prosecuting and punishing those responsible for perpetrating the Mumbai attack. They are still in Pakistani soil,” he said.
Besides, he said that the terror structure, that helps strikes like 26/11, was intact across the border.
“That is my complaint against Pakistan and that is my disappointment with Pakistan,” he said.
India had handed the latest dossier to Pakistan on August 22 for action against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed, a prime accused in the 26/11 attacks, saying there was “cogent and convincing evidence” to prosecute him.
