NEW DELHI: India has given up its insistence that Pakistan hand over all accused involved in the Mumbai carnage.
Indian Foreign Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee in an interview said the government would also accept their “fair trial” in Pakistan. “There should at least be a fair trial of these accused in Pakistan,” Mukherjee said.
“It should not be a mock trial. It should be transparent and demonstrated.” Mukherjee’s statement, coming a day after British foreign secretary David Miliband in a press conference lauded the Pakistani lawyers’ movement and termed the country’s judicial system ‘trustworthy’.
The accused of Mumbai carnage should be tried in Pakistan, Miliband said.
