Speaking during a talk on ''After Mumbai, Beyond the War on Terror'' in Mumbai, Miliband said: "Pakistani authorities need to detain people and take further action like prosecution and action against them if found guilty. We need to hold the Pakistani government to their promise that people caught should put through their judicial system and then punished."
