LDALL CHIDAMBARAM 2


India has sought the voice samples in a dossier given
to Pakistan last week and Chidambaram is understood to have
raised this issue at the meeting with Malik.
Indian investigators want the voice samples of the
handlers, who have been identified in the dossiers given by
it, to be matched with the recordings of the conversation the
Mumbai attackers had with them.
At the joint interaction, Malik said both the
countries want good relationship and friendship. "I think this
is a very good beginning and we will take it to the positive
side."
Chidambaram said both the sides agreed that the
situation needs to be addressed in a manner it deserves and "I
am confident the outcome will be good for both countries."
Asked to elaborate on India's expectations on the
outcomes, he identified these as "rigorous investigation and
follow up of leads that are available" in the Mumbai attacks
case.
Also, all the masterminds and handlers behind 26/11
must be brought to justice, he added.
"These are the specific outcomes we expect in respect
of that (Mumbai) incident and the other is larger purpose of
making South Asia free from terror."
"We must ensure that terrorists have no free run,
either in Pakistan or India and both countries must work
together as well as other countries of South Asia to wipe out
the menace of terrorism," Chidambaram, who also met President
Asif Ali Zardari, said.
When Malik was asked about release of JuD chief Hafiz
Saeed and whether Pakistan would file a fresh case against him
in the light of new information given by India, he said Saeed
has been set free by the Supreme Court and "we have to respect
that".
"The new evidence, the new dossier which has come to
us, we will be looking into the evidence, we will be looking
into the information and move accordingly. Let us have
positive note," the Pakistan Interior Minister said.
The new dossier handed over on Monday contains
additional information about Saeed's role in the Mumbai
attacks on the basis of revelations made by Pakistani-American
LeT operative David Coleman, who has confessed to have carried
out recce of 26/11 targets.
Malik said Pakistan had demonstrated its clear resolve
to bring perpetrators to justice earlier. "After the
additional information, we are showing the same resolve," he
said.
"What is important is that most of the irritants (were
discussed) and the roadmap is there. We have to give clear
message to terrorists, that resolve is there," he underlined
and added "we decided to work together to give a very clear
message to terrorists that we are united."
To a question, he said "unless there is exchange of
hearts (between India and Pakistan), we can't move forward."
