Onus on Pakistan to unveil Mumbai attack conspiracy: India

New Delhi, Sept 10 (PTI) India Thursday put on Pakistan
the onus of unveiling the conspiracy behind the Mumbai attacks
and ruled out meaningful dialogue till concrete action is
taken against those responsible.

The firm message was sent out by Indian External Affairs
Minister S M Krishna ahead of his meeting with his Pakistani
counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi in New York later this month
on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

On the eve of the ministerial meeting, Foreign
Secretaries Nirupama Rao and Salman Bashir will meet to
discuss the progress on investigation of the 26/11 attacks and
prosecution of those arrested in connection with it.

"It is in our vital interest to normalise our relations
with Pakistan. However, we are at a stage where it is for
Pakistan to determine the kind of relationship that it wants
to have with India," Krishna said while addressing the Editors
Guild here.

Talking about the Mumbai attacks, he said it was
launched from Pakistan and the conspiracy was hatched there.
"Clearly, the onus is on Pakistan to unveil the conspiracy,"
he said, adding India had sought to "assist" them in that task
by providing vital evidence. (MORE) PTI AJD
