India to respond to Pak queries on 26/11 probe: NSA


NEW DELHI: Indian propaganda against Pakistan is in full swing, as the Indian National Security Advisor, M K Narayanan has said that Pakistan has asked India a few questions on the 26/11 investigations. "We will be responding to the questions on 26/11 investigations," he said.

India on Saturday had said that Pakistan has given no official response to the dossier on Mumbai attacks, rejecting Islamabad's claim that an update has been provided on its probe into the carnage. External Affairs Minister, Pranab Mukherjee contradicted claims by his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi that Pakistan's High Commissioner Shahid Malik had given the update when he met Home Minister P Chidambaram on Thursday. "The Pakistani High Commissioner paid a courtesy call on the Home Minister on January 29. He did not provide any details on the results of the investigation in Pakistan into the Mumbai attacks," Mukherjee said in a statement in New Delhi.

Qureshi had claimed on Friday that Malik had provided an update on the probe by Pakistan. "We have also seen media reports about certain statements by various Pakistani officials on their ongoing investigations, including a certain reported clarification by the Pakistani Prime Minister (Yousuf Raza Gilani)," Mukherjee said. "I would like to underline that we have so far not received any official Pakistani response to the Indian dossier or official information on the outcome of their investigations. These are awaited," he said.

Meanwhile, Indian government has rejected the demand of BJP for instituting an enquiry into secret agencies failure in Mumbai attacks.
