Mumbai evidence insufficient, says Pakistan

Mumbai evidence insufficient, says Pakistan According to the Pakistan media, Pakistani officials said that it can not take any action on the evidence provided by India as it is insufficient.

According to 'The Nation', Pakistan has made it clear to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian affairs, Richard Boucher, that the proofs given to Pakistan were too insufficient and the statement of Kasab, under torture by the investigating agencies, has no legal status.

Pakistan is expected to reply to India in a day or two.

Times Now has reported that the Pakistani government, meanwhile, is preparing a dossier on India's involvement in terror.

Earlier, India had presented Pakistan, and other key countries, a dossier of incriminating "material" obtained during the probe into the Mumbai attacks which includes telephone intercepts between the attackers and the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan.

India has also alleged that the arms and other articles recovered from Kasab and other terrorists bear the inscription "Made in Pakistan".

This "hard evidence" was also given to the US, UK, Israel and other countries who lost their citizens in the attacks.

India will give copies of the documents to the members of the UN Security Council and G-8 and would also put pressure on Islamabad for it to acknowledge the involvement of its citizens in the attacks, and thereafter to take action against them.

Foreign secretary Shivshankar Menon told reporters that the dossier was handed over to the Pakistan High Commissioner, Shahid Malik, in Delhi and to the Pakistan's Foreign Secretary, Salman in Islamabad. India has thus counter acted Pakistan's plea that India has not shared evidence with it and, therefore, its refusal to act against terrorists.
