India tells Pakistan to seek information officially

New Delhi, Feb 10 (ANI): India criticised Pakistan for talking through the media, and asked it to seek officially whatever information it wants after Pakistan said it needs more information on Mumbai attacks to continue probe.

"We would expect official communication from Pakistan whether they need anything extra and anything additional from us," External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters here on Tuesday.

Responding to a question about Pakistan, Mukherjee said: "They (Pakistan) should communicate officially, then we will be in a position to deal with it, otherwise it is going to be extremely difficult."

Earlier, Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon refused to comment on Islamabad's contention, saying Pakistan has been "saying various things at various times and in various forms to various audiences." (ANI)
