26/11 probe in Pak, terror camps to dominate Indo-Pak HS talks

New Delhi, Mar 23 (PTI) Dismantling of terror camps
across the border, handing over of voice samples of Mumbai
terror attack masterminds and progress in Samjhauta Express
blast probe will dominate the Home Secretary level talks
between India and Pakistan in the Indian capital next week.
New Delhi will also ask Islamabad to hand over Indian
Mujhahideen terrorists and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim
taking shelter in that country and check inflow of fake
Indian currency notes at the two-day meeting on March 28 and
29.
Indian Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai Wednesday met
security czars of the country, including Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI), India's premier investigation agency,
chief A P Singh, Intelligence Bureau Director Nehchal Sandhu,
National Investigation Agency (NIA) chief S C Sinha, Director
General of Border Security Force (BSF) Raman Srivastava, to
fine-tune India's stand on the issues to be raised during the
meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Chaudhary Qamar Zaman,
sources said.
Pillai is expected to ask Zaman about the trial of
26/11 terror attack accused in a court in Pakistan and the
delay in handing over of voice samples of masterminds of that
attack, including Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Zaki ur
Rehman Lakhvi.
The Indian delegation will raise the issue of
cross-border terrorism and Pakistan's inaction in dismantling
terror camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and why it has not
been able to rein in LeT founder Hafiz Saeed.
Pakistan is expected to ask India about the progress
of Samjhauta Express blast probe in which activists of right
wing groups were allegedly involved. Majority of the victims
of the train, which runs between India and Pakistan, were from
the neighbouring country.
India is also preparing a dossier, incorporating all
key issues, to be handed over to the Pakistani side.
The proposed talks will be the first structured
bilateral secretary-level meeting on counter-terrorism after
India and Pakistan decided to resume comprehensive talks.
More than two years after India had suspended the
composite dialogue with Pakistan in the wake of the terror
attacks in the western Indian city of Mumbai in November,
2008, the two sides decided in Thimphu in February to resume
comprehensive dialogue on all outstanding issues.
