Pak`s summons its envoy in India to Islamabad
Rezaul H Laskar
Islamabad, Feb 3 (PTI) Pakistan's High Commissioner to
India Shahid Malik arrived here Tuesday for consultations to
finalise the country's response to the Indian dossier on the
Mumbai attacks, which is expected to be handed over this week.
Pakistan's response is in its final stage and is being
vetted by the foreign and interior ministries so that it can
be handed over to India, diplomatic and other sources told
PTI.
Malik arrived here this morning following summons from
the Foreign Office to return to help finalise Pakistan's
response.
The High Commissioner is expected to meet Interior
Ministry chief Rehman Malik, Law Minister Farooq Naek and
Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir to discuss India's response to
questions Pakistan had posed after receiving the Indian
dossier, sources said.
India's replies will be used to finalise Pakistan's
response, they added.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told
reporters in Lahore that Pakistan's report on its probe into
the Mumbai attacks would be handed over to the Indian High
Commission in Islamabad after a detailed review by the foreign
and interior ministries.
Officials in the Indian High Commission told PTI that
they had been given no indication as to when the Pakistani
response would be handed over to them.
Media reports said top Pakistani jurists were
analysing the report prepared by security and intelligence
experts on the basis of information provided by India in its
dossier, which was handed over on January 5.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has already made it
clear that Pakistan will take action under its own laws
against any persons found guilty of involvement in the Mumbai
attacks and they will not be handed over to India.
Foreign Minister Qureshi also said that Pakistan wants
to restore normal relations with India. Bilateral talks on all
issues, including Kashmir, will resume only after ties are
normalised, he said.
Qureshi made it clear that negotiations are the "only
solution to conflicts" between India and Pakistan. Fiery
speeches on both sides will not help resolve issues, he said.
