India accused elements in Pakistan for the Mumbai attacks.
On Saturday, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said that while keeping its all options open India has not exhausted its diplomatic options in its attempt to bring the Mumbai attack plotters to justice.
Mukherjee also said that India had enough evidence to support a statement made by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh earlier last week that "official agencies" in Pakistan were involved in the November attack.
Pakistan has rejected the Indian allegations.
Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Saturday reiterated an offer that Pakistan would cooperate in investigations, but said its forces were ready to defend the country. (ANI)
