Pak should carry forward 'progress' in 26/11 probe: PM

Mumbai, Oct 11 (PTI) Holding that he has still not lost
hope, India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Sunday asked
Pakistan to carry forward the "progress" that has been made in
the Mumbai attacks probe and said it should investigate all
those involved, including JuD chief Hafiz Saeed.

Addressing a press conference here, Singh said there has
been some progress in the Mumbai attacks case and for the
first time Pakistan has agreed that the conspiracy leading to
the tragedy in Mumbai was hatched there.

"There has been effect (due to) the pressure exerted by
us and the international community. For the first time,
Pakistan agreed that the conspiracy leading to the tragedy in
Mumbai was hatched in Pakistan and that the citizens of
Pakistan were involved," he said.

The Prime Minister said never before had Pakistan agreed
to any such "proposition". "They have always maintained that
they have nothing to do, their people are not involved. So
there is some progress," he said.

Pakistan should investigate all those who were involved,
including Lashkar-e-Toiba, its founder Hafiz Saeed, as also
another terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad, he said.

"There should be a fair trial which will result in proper
punishment. We have not lost hope," the Prime Minister said in
reply to a volley of questions on the 26/11 strikes. PTI ETB
