No dilution of India's position on 26/11 attack: MEA

New Delhi, Apr 14 (PTI) India on Thursday said there
was no dilution in its position that all those responsible for
the Mumbai terror attack should be brought to justice
expeditiously and the on-going dialogue with Pakistan will
seek to address the country's terrorism-related concerns.
"It is our expectation that all those responsible for
the Member terrorist attack will be brought to justice
expeditiously. This position is shared by the international
community at large, particularly those countries whose
nationals were killed during this horrific attack," the
Ministry of External Affairs said here.
Noting that India has embarked on a dialogue process
with Pakistan with the aim of normalising relations, the
ministry said, "This dialogue will naturally seek to address
our terrorism-related concerns, particularly with respect to
the Mumbai terrorist attack."
This issue figured prominently in the recently
concluded Home Secretary-level talks as also in various recent
interactions with the Government of Pakistan, the official
spokesperson said, adding, "Clearly, there is no dilution of
our position in this regard".
The remarks came in response to a question regarding
the purported statement made by Pakistani-American terrorist
Tahawwur Hussain Rana in a US Court.
Rana, the Pakistani-Canadian accused in the Mumbai
terror case, has claimed in court documents that his "alleged
illegal acts of providing material support to terrorists --
were done at the behest of the Pakistani government and the
ISI, not the Lashkar terrorist organisation."
Rana's disclosures have brought to the fore India's
suspicion that the Pakistani government and the ISI had a role
in the 26/11 carnage that left 166 dead.
