KRISHNA 2

Krishna said New Delhi will keep engaging Pakistan on
the "logical follow up" that should be taken. "We expect that
it will be done," he said.

Asked about Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood
Qureshi's remarks that India is not coming forward for
resumption of talks, Krishna said, "India was happily
conituning with its composite dialogue till the Mumbai attacks
which abruptly ended, temporarily, the composite dialogue.

"So, I think Pakistan has to blame itself for the
suspension of the composite dialogue and again it has to be
Pakistan's initiative now to satisfy India's requirement for
the resumption of composite dialogue," he said.

The Minister said India is fully aware that Pakistan
is the "epicentre of terror in this region". This, he said,
has been brought to the notice of Pakistan as well as friendly
countries.

On a question about incursion by a Chinese helicopter
in Leh sector recently, Krishna sought to downplay the
incident saying there was an in-built mechanism to deal with
such issues.

"Whenever they take place this mechanism comes into
operation and things are settled," he said. MORE PTI
