More on this story.”No dialogue until Pak acts against terror,” from the Daily Times, June 6:
NEW DELHI: Upset with Pakistan for releasing suspected Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna on Friday said there is no point in resuming dialogue with Islamabad, unless it acts credibly against terrorism.
He said dialogue with Pakistan is possible only if it acts seriously on dismantling terror networks directed towards India from Pakistan, the Press Trust of India reported. Krishna also conveyed India’s concerns over the release of Hafiz Saeed, saying the move reflected Islamabad’s “˜insincerity” in probing the Mumbai attacks.
Earlier, India’s High Commissioner Sharat Sabharwal, during a meeting with Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir, had said Saeed’s release reflected “insincerity and lack of commitment” on Pakistan’s part in probing the Mumbai attacks, diplomatic sources said. Meanwhile, Indian Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon said they were in touch with the international community to pressurise Pakistan to act against terrorism.
