US asks Pakistan to take action against 26/11 accused

[prototype]

In a move, which could be construed as an improvement over New Delhi's bonding with Washington, American President Barack Obama has asked Pakistan prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani to take stern and decisive action against those involved in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.

The US President met the Pakistani prime minister and foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi after his talks with prime minister Indian Manmohan Singh on Sunday. During his meeting with the US President, Singh expressed concern about the activities in Pakistan. Singh told Obama that Pakistan "lacked the will to punish" those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks, foreign secretary Nirupoma Rao said.

However, despite the so called stern signals to Pakistan, there were reports that Obama, during his meeting with the Pakistani leaders, said he was "very fond of Pakistan" and his administration was

"very keen to take strategic relationship with Islamabad forward." Also despite warnings to Pakistan and pressure from India, the access to American-Pakistan terrorist David Coelman Headley remains somewhat under cloud. The issue was raised during the talks between Manmohan Singh and the US President. The prime minister, polite but firm, also mentioned about Hafiz Saeed, founder of LeT and Huji chief Iliyas Kashmiri, while talking about terrorist threats emnating from Pakistan.

He said: "In ensuring the architecture of high economic growth for countries like India, what happens in our neighbourhood is of crucial importance." Singh told Obama that the "terrorist onslaught in our region, if it persisted, could affect our growth prospects." He categorically said the "terrorist menace has to be "tackled" and that "this was an issue on which India and US stood on the same side."

The PM said how the "terrorism menace was tackled would determine the future of south Asian region."

Believe me if he had said anything, the Indian media would have flanked the hell out of internet. Obama didnt mention anything to pakistani PM, nothing categorical

Obama walks tightrope with Manmohan, Gilani

Appreciates India's interest in Afghanistan; tells Pakistan that extremists do not distinguish between victims

India and the United States made a fresh push on Sunday to dispel the clouds of uncertainty hovering over their relationship in the wake of America's increasing dependence on Pakistan as a partner in its war against extremism in Afghanistan.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Barack Obama, accompanied by their top advisers, met here for 50 minutes on the eve of the Nuclear Security Summit. A few hours later, the U.S. President sat down with Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani of Pakistan.

The U.S. President reassured Dr. Singh that he “welcomed the humanitarian and development assistance that India continues to provide to Afghanistan,” the White House said in a statement. Providing an Indian account of the discussions, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said President Obama told the Prime Minister the U.S. “fully appreciated India's interest in Afghanistan and recognised the enormous sacrifices that India has made in helping to stabilise that country.”

BACKS REQUEST FOR ACCESS

Mr. Obama also sought to put to rest speculation about America's reluctance to allow Indian investigators access to David Coleman Headley, the Lashkar-e-Taiba operative arraigned in Chicago for his role in the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. Ms. Rao described the U.S. President as being “fully supportive of our request for provision of such access.”

In his meeting with Prime Minister Gilani, Mr. Obama said that “extremists do not distinguish between us and we are truly facing a common enemy,” a White House readout of the exchange said. Mr. Obama also sought to dispel Islamabad's fears that the U.S. had sinister designs towards the country's nuclear programme, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told reporters later.

Playing his role as an economist to the hilt, Prime Minister Singh told Mr. Obama about the role the U.S. and G-20 could play in speeding up the recovery of the global economy. India was also playing a role in the “architecture of high economic growth,” he said, but warned that the terrorist onslaught in the region “could affect our growth prospects.” This terrorist menace should be tackled and this was an issue on which India and the United States stood on the same side, Ms. Rao quoted the Prime Minister as saying. “He said this with specific reference to what is happening in Pakistan and Afghanistan. How this menace was tackled would determine the future of the South Asian region, the Prime Minister said. He mentioned in this context the issue of David Coleman Headley and also the tremendous rise in infiltration across the Line of Control.” Dr. Singh also brought up the activities of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Ilyas Kashmiri, “as also the fact that unfortunately there was no will on the part of the government of Pakistan to punish those responsible for the terrorist crimes in Mumbai of November 2008,” Ms. Rao said.

Directly spelling out New Delhi's expectations, the Prime Minister said that this was an area “where the partnership of India and the United States could make the difference.”

REDUCTION OF TENSION

According to Ms. Rao, President Obama said he shared Dr. Singh's vision of South Asia and that he favoured the reduction of tensions between the two countries. At this point, the Prime Minister stressed the need for Pakistan to take convincing action against those accused for involvement in the Mumbai attacks, the Foreign Secretary said. She added that Mr. Obama fully understood our concerns about the LeT and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. was engaging Islamabad on these issues and would be sensitive to the concerns India has expressed in the context of American security assistance to Pakistan. Asked to elaborate on what that meant, Mr. Rao said the issue would be monitored “keeping India's concerns in mind.”

To be frank, we don't think Pakistan is gonna do anything about it. No matter what the truth is, it is obvious that execution of such an act was impossible without authorization from the highest level. It could have lead to an all out war ..No country would let a couple of "non state actors" do something that could jeopardize the fate of an entire nation.

The reason why the media keeps putting political pressure is because we have to do it. We cannot do justice to those who died in the barbaric acts and we cannot simply forget them ..This is all we can do and we're doing it irrespective of the consequences.

What do these terrorists gain from killing innocents in such cowardly manner ?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Its hard becasue most of the culprits were in India and last one is in indian jail what exactly are we suppose to do launch a strategic operation into India against Kasab

We don't know who promoted the actions we don't have enough evidence , just becasue some lunatic attacked indian city that means that lunatic will tell truth

All we can offer is please hang Mr Qasab with a tight rope

That is rather twisted logic. The fact that such attacks could lead to war and offer no obvious benefit to the Pakistani State are in fact evidence of why there would be no State support of these acts, nor any 'high level authorization'.

The reason why the media keeps putting political pressure is because we have to do it. We cannot do justice to those who died in the barbaric acts and we cannot simply forget them ..This is all we can do and we're doing it irrespective of the consequences.

The reason the media keeps harping on this is because the GoI is pushing it to do so and because it continues to brainwash Indians into hating Pakistan and therefore eliminate chances of a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

What do the terrorists gain? I don't know, but I do know that as horrific as the Mumbai attack was, it pales in comparison to the terrorist attacks Pakistan has suffered in the last year or so. What did those terrorists gain? Does following your logic mean that India must have been behind those attacks and that they were 'authorized at the highest level' by Indian authorities?

lets see what our PM is saying about 'US asking Pakistan' about manmohan singh's concerns.

In our discussion, the PM was asked by me how and in what language President Obama had raised the issues which PM Dr Manmohan Singh had pointed out about Pakistan.

Mr Gilani’s answer was revealing. He said Obama did not raise these issues himself but it was when our side talked about the bilateral relations, Mr Obama, just in passing, mentioned that Dr Singh had also come to see him and was talking about the two things which, if resolved, could help India and Pakistan get on the track to discussing their problems and making progress.

This way Mr Gilani did not see the Obama remarks as any message he was conveyed on behalf of the Indians. His perception was that the Indian points of concern were just discussed in passing and if he had not talked about India-Pakistan relations, Mr Obama would not have mentioned them.

Obama says Gilani has raised his stature

What did Col. Prohit gain from bombing the Samjotha Express Train and killing 93 Pakistani citizens and injuring 145. If you get access to him or any RAW operative they may be able to tell you the answer, why people kill civilians.

Please let us know Avatar when you find out.
