Prime Minister's Adviser on Interior Affairs, Rehman Malik said that Pakistan is not accepting the plea for the consular assistance made by Ajmal Amir Kasab, the terrorist arrested during the Mumbai terror strikes.

During the function on Wednesday, at the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) headquarters, he said, "There is no question of consular access unless it is proved that Ajmal Kasab is a Pakistan national."

He further said, "We have thoroughly checked the registration records but have not found Ajmal Kasab's name in the Nadra database. Therefore we are not sure whether he is a Pakistani. How we can give him consular access without having knowledge about his nationality?"
