New Delhi : India said it expected Pakistan to act fast in bringing the perpetrators of Mumbai attacks to justice and promised cooperation in this regard.
“Certainly, we would hope that those things (bringing perpetrators to justice and dismantling terror infrastructure) would happen and happen as soon as possible and we will do everything we can to encourage that process,” Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon told reporters here on Tuesday.
He said India had replied to the 30 questions as part of the process to help Pakistan take action against those behind the Mumbai attacks.
“We will continue down that road with whoever is willing to help us to achieve our goal,” Menon said.
He said that Pakistan understands what India expects it to do and the responses New Delhi has received from authorities in Islamabad “represent the first step in the direction for meeting those goals.” “We will do what we can to encourage them to do the right thing. But I cannot say that everything has happened yet and perpetrators have either been brought to justice or there has been credible action against the infrastructure of terror in Pakistan,” Menon said.
On the situation in the neighbouring country, he said Pakistan has shown ability to address the situation.
“We would wish them well and we hope, as we have often enough, for a stable democratic Pakistan, which is at peace with itself,” Menon said.
