No Hand in Mumbai Attack: Pakistan


Amid heightened tensions over attacks in Mumbai, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that has country has nothing to do with Mumbai attacks, reportedly, the clarification came after premier Singh told his Pakistani counterpart that New Delhi had evidence to prove cross-border involvement.

The Indian premier has also asked for ISI chief to be sent to India which his Pakistani counterpart has agreed to.

Manmohan Singh mentioned intelligence intercepts and the arrest of a Pakistani national involved in the dastardly attack on Mumbai, the sources said.

The sources also said that Gilani told Singh that both India and Pakistan are victims of terror and added that groups acting against India are also enemies of Pakistan.

Reuters India adds on Saturday, refuting earlier reports Pakistan Prime Minister Gilani’s office has said that a representative of the notorious Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and not its Director General would be deputed to India, for investigations into the Mumbai Terror crisis.

Reports appearing in a section of the media had earlier said that the top ISI official would be sent to India.
