Bharat (aka India) has not given Pakistan any evidence. It has provided information, the authenticity of which is circumspect. There is increasing level of frustration by those who have looked as the Bharati dossier. International agencies and Pakistan have not been imprssed by the dossier.

“Is this the best they could do”. Not world-class or superpower work.

ISLAMABAD, Jan 13: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Tuesday the government was carefully examining the ‘information’ about the Mumbai terror attacks received last week and was prepared to cooperate with India to uncover facts.

In a policy statement made in the National Assembly, he said that Pakistan would share with India results of its own investigation in due course of time.

He said India had not provided any evidence, just information. “All that has been received from India is some information. I say information because these are not evidence.”

The prime minister said the information received on January 5 needed to be carefully examined and had been sent to the ministry of interior for necessary investigation in accordance with the country’s law.

He regretted that India had not responded to Pakistan’s proposal for a joint investigation. “I hope they will see merit in it and accept a joint inquiry. Serious, sustained and pragmatic cooperation is the way forward,” he remarked.

Mr Gilani said Pakistan condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and was among the first to condemn the Mumbai attacks.
