ISLAMABAD, Feb 13: Pakistan urged India on Friday to “come clean on multiple facets of the Mumbai tragedy” and expose those responsible for acts of “commission and omission”.

Responding to a statement by Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee in Lok Sabha, the Foreign Office warned that the reality of Mumbai attacks was increasingly getting enmeshed in India’s domestic politics.

Mr Mukherjee had said a day after Pakistan’s response to the Indian dossier that “authorities in Pakistan have to choose the kind of relationship that they want with India in future; much depends on actions in the Mumbai case reaching their logical conclusion”.

A spokesman said Pakistan had so far refrained from commenting on India’s internal affairs. “We have acted with a high sense of responsibility and exercised restraint.

“Mukherjee’s remarks are essentially a rehash of the standard Indian line against Pakistan and in complete variance with the imperatives of a serious approach to uncover the full facts relating to Mumbai attacks and bringing the perpetrators to justice,” the Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement.

“We have a distinct sense that the reality of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, which were wholeheartedly condemned by the international community and Pakistan, is getting increasingly mixed with compulsions of domestic politics in India.

“The government of Pakistan expects India to come clean on the multiple facets of the Mumbai tragedy and expose the names of persons and entities in India who were also responsible for acts of commission and omission in a transparent manner.”

The spokesman said Pakistan had offered India a hand of cooperation “in the interest of regional peace and security”.—APP
