Pak to share Mumbai probe findings with India, world: Gilani

Islamabad, Jan 25 (PTI) Pakistan government will share the findings of its probe into the Mumbai attacks with the whole world, including India, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Sunday.

Addressing a gathering at Multan in Punjab province,
Gilani said Pakistan wants friendly relations with India and
Afghanistan but on "equal terms".

He said the whole world, including India, would be taken
into confidence on the findings of Pakistan's probe into the
Mumbai attacks.

Gilani said war was no solution to the issue of terrorism
and Pakistan and India should work together to counter the
menace. Pakistan does not want war but reserves the right to
defend its territory, he added.

Pakistan will not allow its territory to be used for
terrorist acts, he said. Gilani added that Pakistan and India
should pay more attention to problems faced by their people.

All political parties must work together to give strength
to Pakistan, he said. The parties should not repeat mistakes
made in the past. "We appointed the opposition leader as the
head of (the parliamentary) public accounts committee for our
own accountability," said Gilani.

Gilani said Pakistan is passing through a difficult phase
but the government will not compromise on national dignity. He
dispelled the impression that his government is weak.

The Pakistan People's Party-led government is a symbol of
the federation and will complete its five-year term, he said.
