We have got no official response from Pak: Mukherjee

New Delhi, Jan 31 (PTI) India Saturday said 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.

Indian 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 here.

Qureshi had Friday claimed 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.

Pakistan's High Commissioner to UK Wahid Shamsul Hasan
Friday claimed that Pakistani probe had concluded that the
Mumbai attacks were not planned in his country but somewhere
else.

Soon after, Gilani said Hasan cannot comment on the
issue which is the job of Interior Ministry.

India feels Pakistan is deliberately giving out confusing
signals as it wants to "hide" the truth about involvement of
