Press Pak to bring Mumbai accused to book: Indian MPs to US - Express India

Washington A delegation of Indian lawmakers have asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to press Pakistan to bring Mumbai
attack accused like Hafiz Saeed and Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi to book and ensure that Islamabad does not divert US aid for anti-India activities.

The delegation led by Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi met Clinton here and also expressed concern over the proposed China-Pakistan nuclear deal.

The visiting MPs also raised these issues during a series of meetings with Congressmen, policy makers and officials of the Obama Administration.

"We expressed our very strong concerns about dispensable assets like Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi in Pakistan against whom there is a very strong credible enormous dossier of evidence supplied to both Pakistan and the US, about why the US should not use the stronger pressure to ensure that such assets are at least brought to book under the law of the land and not only cosmetically dealt with by local courts in Pakistan, who acquit them," Singhvi said soon after his meeting with Clinton.

The MPs delegation, Singhvi said, also raised a number of concerns about how China's supplying of nuclear plants to Pakistan might be in contravention of guidelines of the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

They alsourged the US to ensure Pakistan does not allow its soil to be used for anti-India activities.

"We also expressed our serious concerns about misusing US aid by Pakistan and diverting it for anti-India activities, and how much micro-scrutiny can be done by the US to ensure that the legitimate aid does not get diverted for anti-India purposes," said the Congress leader.

Singhvi is leading a group of all-party MPs to attend the fourth India-Yale Parliamentary Leadership Programme organised annually by the Yale University and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

He said the response of American officials to India's concerns has been "understanding, sympathetic, and absorbent".

"They appreciated each of the concerns of India in a detailed manner. All I can say is that they are extremely alive to it and I think, we can expect without any timelines, guarantees and assurances, very very positive action aligned with India's concerns on each of these issues," he told reporters.

When asked about American concerns if any, Singhvi said the US concerns are mainly centered around a larger security architecture for the whole of South Asia.

"I think this is an important achievement that there is no hyphenation of India-Pak relations for the US. The hyphen if at all has shifted further westwards between Pakistan and Afghanistan. That is a positive sign," he said.

Singhvi said the US officials are alive to the fact that India plays fully its "rightful role" in a constructive solution on the ****** problem.

"And that India is very much part of that process as well," he said.

Singhvi said the US is very highly appreciative of the positive role played by the Indian government in improving its relationship with Pakistan.

"There is a great appreciation of the fact that the Government of India and the Prime Minister have reached out within the constraints and within the overall Indian foreign policy and I think the US Government intends to put its best foot forward to make sure that the process goes in the right direction, at the right pace, and it is not easily allowed to be sabotaged by elements which want it to be sabotaged," he said.

The delegation includes two Union Ministers of State – Ajay Maken and Agatha Sangma -- besides Anto Antony, Gaddam Vivekanand, Pradeep Majhi from the Congress; Jyoti Dhurve and Janardhana Swamy from the BJP; Harsimrat Kaur Badal (Shiromani Akali Dal); Bhartruhari Mahtab (Biju Janata Dal); Asaduddin Owaisi (All India Majlis-e Ittihad al-Muslimin); and Neeraj Shekhar (Samajwadi Party).

FICCI president Rajan Bharati Mittal and the secretary general Amit Mitra, were also present during the delegation's meeting with Clinton held at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department.

We dont want Headley. We already wasting lot of money on keeping Kasab.

Tell me, when Pakistan has accepted that the terrorists belonged to Pakistani soil, along with the planning and execution of the episode, then why is Pakistan so reluctant to arrest those who are accused ?
Why the drama of being sincere ?

So India thinks that by bringing the likes of Hafiz Saeed to "justice" will make them secure?

I am sorry, But I do not agree. As long as there are atrocities against people of Kashmir, India cannot have security.

My Chawwanni!!!

My intentions are peaceful. I am merely pointing out at the root cause.

I agree that the root cause is the Kashmir dispute. However Pakistan is not blameless here in the deaths of the Kashmiri civilians. So if you really want to be peaceful, call spade a spade.

This effort will not bring immediate result but this type of campaign but NGOs, diplomats and media can raise the pressure day by day then we will reach a stage that it will be very difficult for the enemy to face the world community.

And what about Kashmiris? Have you asked them to turn LOC into IB?

did i say that ? dont try to politicize this topic, your first post was totally in favor of terrorism and my point is that if Pakistan does not stop its relentless support of terrorist activities in India, we can answer back in the same language. India is patient in its approach but our patience isnt limitless.

stop worrying about Kashmir, its none of Pakistan's business, Kashmir is India's domestic issue, Pakistan's involvement is not required or needed. Pakistan already has more on its plate than it can swallow.

No, My post was not in favor. I was merely pointing out the fact that people like Hafiz Saeed will continue to emerge as long as Kashmiris are suffering.
