| Pakistan's action against Dawa 'insufficient': India |
| 2009-01-02 |
| Pakistan's action against the banned Jamaatud Dawa (JD) is 'insufficient', Indian Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon said in an interview on Thursday. He said the charity was operating under a new name and website and was already accepting donations. Menon said the world had an obligation to ensure those who carried out the terrorist attacks in Mumbai last month "should be brought to face the Indian justice system". "Unless Pakistan dismantles the terror infrastructure on its soil completely, the menace will continue in one or other form," he said. To a question, the Indian foreign secretary said Pakistan must guarantee there will be no further terror attacks from its soil "not only against India but against any country in the world". Menon also accused Pakistan of propaganda "to divert attention from the real issues". He rejected the call for a joint Pakistan-India commission to probe the Mumbai attacks, saying evidence had been shared with Pakistan in the past but there were no results. "Even the Joint Anti-Terror Mechanism has yielded no results," he said. |
