Islamabad : Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was on Thursday briefed on India’s response to Pakistan’s 30 queries seeking more information on the Mumbai terror attacks.
During a meeting at the Prime Minister’s house here, Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik presented Gilani a copy of answers handed over by the Indian government in response to Pakistan’s 30 questions, the official APP news agency reported.
Malik also briefed the Prime Minister on the overall law and order situation in the country.
India’s 400-page dossier, containing replies to Pakistan’s questions, was handed over by Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon to Islamabad’s High Commissioner Shahid Malik in New Delhi on March 13, a month after Islamabad posed the queries.
On Tuesday, India’s response to Pakistan’s 30 queries was provided to the Federal Investigation Agency by authorities here for “further examination and necessary legal action”.
The Indian replies were also reviewed at a meeting earlier chaired by Interior Ministry chief Malik and attended by Interior Secretary Kamal Shah and FIA Director General Tariq Khosa.
They had also decided that any further response to the Indian authorities would be “conveyed through diplomatic channels in due course of time,” officials had said.
