S Jaishankar writes to Pakistan on 26/11 Probe

NEW DELHI: India has suggested ways in which Pakistan could expedite the 26/11 through a letter that Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar has written to his counterpart across the border. Jaishankar suggested cooperation through legal channels as one way of ensuring that the perpetrators of the attack are brought to justice.

“The trial in the Mumbai terror attack and Pakistan has not moved expeditiously, although it will soon be eight years since that dastardly attack took place. In order to bring the guilty to book, our Foreign Secretary has recently written to his Pakistani counterpart, suggesting ways in which the trial could be expedited through cooperation through the legal channel,” said MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup.

The letter that was written on September 6 was delivered on September 9. The MEA’s statement on the letter comes a day after India raised Pakistan’s human rights violations in Balochistan at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
