India to send terse reminder to Pak on 26/11 anniversary

New Delhi, Nov 18 (PTI) India will send a special note to
Pakistan very soon asking it to punish perpetrators of Mumbai
terror strikes, hand over voice samples of handlers of
attackers and show sincerity in dismantling terror
infrastructure within its territory.
Ahead of the second anniversary of Mumbai terror attacks,
New Delhi is drafting the note to be sent to Islamabad, which
will bluntly remind Pakistan that the perpetrators of the
crime are yet to be punished and Lakshar-e-Taiba founder
and mastermind Hafiz Saeed is still a free man.
Government sources said in its note, India will tell
Pakistan that no one has been punished in that country for the
worst-ever terror attack in India despite New Delhi handing
over enough evidence.
India will point out to Pakistan that the trial of seven
26/11 accused in that country was very slow and held up due to
"unreasonable" demands made to India, including post-mortem
report of all 166 dead victims and nine slain terrorists.
The report, which is likely to be sent to the
neighbouring country in the next two-three days, will speak
about Saeed, the mastermind of the attack, who is still a free
man and is making provocative statements against India in
every public meeting he attends.
India will also remind Pakistan that its demand for
voice samples of the handlers of the attackers was yet to be
fulfilled despite repeated requests.
New Delhi has been unhappy with the way Islamabad was
handling the Mumbai terror attack issue and its "delaying
tactics" as well as "casual approach" towards it.
Besides, the note will tell Pakistan that the terror
infrastructure in Pakistan continues to operate freely and
despite international condemnation, no visible action has been
taken against terrorists, who mostly carry out anti-India
activities.
