New Delhi: Maharashtra Government on Tuesday announced the appointment of a two-member high level panel headed by former Nagaland Governor RD Pradhan to probe the November 26 terror strikes in Mumbai.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan made this announcement in the state Legislative Assembly.

Former IPS officer V Bhalchandra will be the other member of the panel, which has been asked to submit its report in two months.

The state government has announced that a committee will investigate the terror attack, including lapses on the part of the administration.

Also under scanner will be the role of top police officers and an apparent absence of a control room to spearhead the anti-terror operations.

Pranab talks tough

India on Tuesday accused Pakistan of creating war "hysteria" in a bid to divert attention from the Mumbai terror attacks and demanded that it should dismantle terrorist camps estimated to a number over 30 along with handing over fugitives of Indian law.

Rejecting Islamabad's contention that India had mobilised its Army and Air Force, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said that there was no question of such mobilisation.

Mukherjee was clear about what India wants from Pakistan – dismantling of terrorist camps, taking action against those involved in terror attacks and handing over of fugitives of Indian laws like the chief of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) Masood Azhar.

Disagreeing with suggestions that India should recall its High Commissioner from Pakistan and put economic squeeze on Pakistan, he said while it cannot be "business as usual" with Islamabad, “I do feel still we should continue to put pressure diplomatically through international community to achieve our objectives.”
