Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Prime Minister had used strong words recently and said, "Pakistan must walk the talk on terror."
The Prime Minister was reflecting the sense of dismay that has engulfed the Indian establishment, ever since Pakistan denied claims of its involvement in 7/11 Mumbai bombing.
To ensure that India was on a strong wicket, Mumbai Police's top brass met the Home Secretary to give him all the evidence that they had collected against Pakistan.
On the one hand the Mumbai Police claims it has concrete evidence of Pakistan's involvement in the blasts, on the other hand there appears to be a disconnection as to what the Centre expects from the joint mechanism on terror.
To complicate matters further, there are also indications that the Foreign Ministry is not entirely happy with the Mumbai Police's decision to go public, with its charge against Pakistan.
The man who has clearly been embarrased the most is the new Foreign Secretary, Shiv Shankar Menon - believed to be the mastermind of this mechanism.
"We will present all the evidence and then lets see what happens," says Menon.
In the end, this joint terror mechanism too, it seems may soon become a tool of wrangling between the two nations.
