Pakistan Rejects India’s Evidence on Mumbai Attack


Refusing to break away from denial mode, Pakistan on Tuesday rejected India’s evidence that links it with the perpetrators who carried out the brutal Mumbai attacks in November last year.
On 4 January, India’s High Commissioner of Pakistan handed a 60 page dossier to the Pakistan with detailed evidence on the Mumbai attacks that included information on interrogations, weapons, and data gleaned from satellite phones that officials said proved Pakistani “elements” were behind the deadly siege.
“All we have received from India is information, not proof,” Pakistan PM Yousaf Raza Gillani said in Pakistan Parliament. He said the ‘information’ was still being scrutinised.
He said that India had rejected Pakistan’s proposal for a joint probe into the attacks and that he hoped the merit of the proposal is recognised.
“We are also doing our own investigation. We are ready to share the result of the investigation in due time,” he said.
Gilani had said on Monday that Pakistan was not under pressure and that they are conducting their own enquiry.
India on Saturday said it has received no reply from Pakistan to the dossier of evidence on Mumbai terror attacks as claimed by Islamabad.
Gilani on Friday said ISI has given its “feedback” to India on “some information” about the Mumbai attacks that New Delhi had shared with the US intelligence agency CIA.
