Chidambaram to press Pak on Saeed probe, seek voice samples
New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI) India is expected to press
Pakistan to pursue probe against Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz
Saeed in the 26/11 case and seek voice samples of handlers of
the attackers during the visit of Home Minister P Chidambaram
to Islamabad later this month.
Chidambaram, who will be travelling to Islamabad on June
26 primarily for SAARC Interior Minister's Conference, is
expected to have bilateral meetings with Pakistani leaders
during which he is also likely to raise the issue of cross
border infiltration.
Ahead of the visit, Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid
Malik met Chidambaram here Wednesday to discuss issues related
to the trip.
Sources said Chidambaram is expected to meet his
Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik and seek to know the status
of investigation and trial being conducted in Pakistan in the
Mumbai attacks case.
The sources said Chidambaram would seek to know the
follow up on the 10 dossiers India gave to Pakistan, detailing
the evidence against Saeed and others in 26/11.
Pakistan's Supreme Court had on May 25 set Saeed free,
arguing that there was not enough evidence to keep him
detained.
This had disappointed India, which maintained that it
had given ample material regarding involvement of Saeed in the
Mumbai attacks and several other cases.
During his visit, Chidambaram is expected to press
Pakistan to pursue the probe against Saeed by following up on
the leads provided in the Indian dossiers.
He is also expected to seek voice samples of "handlers"
of the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008,
they said. These include the seven LeT operatives who are
currently undergoing trial in Pakistan.
India has been demanding voice samples of the handlers
whose conversations were intercepted while the attack unfolded
as this will help in the investigations into the Mumbai
terrort attack.
The meeting of SAARC Foreign Ministers will be preceded
by the meeting of Home Secretaries of the eight-nation
grouping.
The meeting will discuss regional cooperation for
dealing with the menace of terrorism, narcotics smuggling and
organised crime. PTI
