New Delhi has overplayed its hand. The West is weary of the “boy who cried wolf too many times”. Toothpaste and shaving cream with “Made in Pakistan” written on it does not make an indictment make. Why would militants travel all the way to Muabai to kill foreigners? There are plenty in Pakistan. The entire dossier is ridiculous and the British and the Americans are privately laughing and publicly being polite.
‘UK supports prosecution of Mumbai attacks suspects in Pakistan’:
World should help Pakistan fight terrorism: Miliband
* British foreign secretary says Pakistani law was violated, ‘they should prosecute suspects’
* Attacks not directed by IslamabadLAHORE/NEW DELHI: British Foreign Secretary David Miliband urged the world community on Wednesday to help Pakistan fight the war on terror, according to a private TV channel.
Miliband told reporters in New Delhi that Britain wanted the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks brought to justice – “the first step that will show Pakistan’s determination to cooperate with India”. He said President Asif Ali Zardari also wanted to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Virtually rejecting India’s demand that suspects arrested in Pakistan’s Mumbai attacks probe be extradited, Miliband separately said in an appearance on an Indian TV programme that Britain supports the suspects’ prosecution in Pakistan – as “they have broken the law of that country”.
The British official said there was no extradition treaty between the South Asian rivals that allowed suspects to be handed over for prosecution in India. He said that it must be ensured that the “Pakistani judicial system takes its course” and those found guilty were punished there.
He said the Pakistani authorities had detained suspects, and “if there is evidence, they should be prosecuted”.
Noting that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and several others had fallen victim to terrorism, he said.”
Bharat (aka India) has lost the battle and the brouhaha over Mumbai has begun to hurt Bharati diplomatic, and commercial strategies. The banal bellicose blathering is beginning to register with the financial market and they have begun to think of Mumbai as a dangerous place.
About Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s allegation that Pakistan’s official agencies could have been involved in the Mumbai attacks, Miliband reiterated his statement of Tuesday, “We don’t have evidence to show that attacks were directed by the Pakistani government.”
Rejection: About Singh’s statement that Pakistan is using terrorism as ‘an instrument of state policy’, Miliband said, “I have no evidence of the Pakistani state directing terrorist activities, and I will never make that claim without that evidence.”
He rejected any contention for imposing sanctions on Pakistan by the UK.
He said the UK would use all appropriate mechanisms to make a ‘difference’, but made it clear that ‘military stick’ would be of no help. “There is serious need for reform from within Pakistan,” said Miliband. daily times monitor/app
