India's response to Pakistan dossier on Mumbai terror attack soon

New Delhi, Feb 27 (ANI): External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said India will respond to Pakistan's questions on the investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks whenever the government will be in a position to do so.

"When we received these questions seeking clarification on the dossier, which we submitted to the Pakistan authorities to help them investigate further, at that point of time we made the commitment that the Government of India will respond. We will give the clarification whatever is possible. Whenever we'll be in a position to share it with Pakistan, it will be done soon," Mukherjee said on the sidelines of the launch of Pan-Africa e-network project.

Earlier, Home Minister P Chidambaram said that New Delhi would respond to Pakistan's dossier after filing of the charge sheet in the case in a Mumbai court.

The charge sheet, running into more than 11,000 pages, was filed by police before a Mumbai court on Wednesday.

Thirty-eight people, including Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the 26/ 11 terror strikes, and two Pakistani soldiers, were charged with "waging war" against India.

On February 12, Islamabad had acknowledged for the first time that the November attack in Mumbai was launched from and partly planned in Pakistan.

Pakistani investigators lodged a police complaint against eight suspects, including Kasab. (ANI)
