Now, Pak envoy says evidence not rejected

UNI

New Delhi: Pakistan on Tuesday said it had not rejected the evidence given to it by India on Monday about the involvement of Pak-based elements in the 26/11 terror attacks on Mumbai and was still examining the evidence.

''There is no question of rejection of the material that the Indian government has given us,'' Pakistan High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik said.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a conference, Malik said Pakistan was in the process of examining the evidence and would get in touch with the authorities.

India on Monday gave to Pakistan the evidence regarding the involvement of Pak-based elements in the Mumbai terror attacks.

The evidence, handed over by Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon to the Pakistan High Commissioner, includes materials from the interrogation of Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the Mumbai attacks, details of terrorist links with elements in Pakistan during the attacks, recovered weapons and equipment and other articles and data retrieved from the GPS and satellite phones.

Menon, on Monday, said India hoped Pakistan to get back with a response to the evidence ''as soon as possible.''

The Pakistan High Commissioner's response was in a completely opposite direction to what officials in Islamabad were saying

Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir said on Tuesday that the terror dossier India has given has "little information and is not credible".

Blaming India for being belligerent, Bashir accused India of pushing the entire region towards war.
