Give all facets of 26/11: Pak to India

Attempting to shrug off the growing impression that Islamabad is under considerable pressure from western capitals to act against terror, it took an aggressive posture and asked New Delhi to "come clean on the multiple facets" of attacks.

NEW DELHI: In an attempt to shrug off the growing impression that Islamabad is under considerable pressure from western capitals to act against terror, Pakistan on Friday took an aggressive posture against India and asked New Delhi to "come clean on the multiple facets" of the Mumbai attacks.

Reacting to external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee���s statement in Parliament, the Pakistani foreign office accused India of acting under the ���compulsions��� of domestic politics.

"We have a distinct sense that the reality of the Mumbai terrorist attacks...is getting increasingly mixed with compulsions of domestic politics in India," a foreign office spokesman was quoted as saying.

Mr Mukherjee had urged Pakistan to fulfil its commitment to stop terror attacks originating from Pakistani soil and to take the investigations to its logical conclusion. He said that the future of Indo-Pak ties were dependent on the kind of the action taken by Pakistan.

But Pakistan has interpreted Mr Mukherjee���s remarks, which also called Pakistan���s probe findings a positive step, as an anti-Pakistan statement. The Pakistani foreign office spokesperson maintained that Mr Mukherjee���s remarks were "a rehash of the standard Indian line against Pakistan."
