Click to play videoNew Delhi: India has given Pakistan evidence about involvement of Pakistan-based elements in Mumbai terror attacks, said External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon summoned Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Mallik and handed over the evidence.
"What happened in Mumbai is an unpardonable crime. We ask Pakistan to implement bilateral commitments it has given at the highest levels," Mukherjee said in New Delhi on Monday.
Mukherjee also said that the evidence has been shared with some other countries and heads of foreign missions will be briefed on the Mumbai attacks in the next 24 hours.
New Delhi has called the heads of missions from important countries for another meeting on Tuesday.
Mukherjee added that he has written to his counterparts in many countries giving details of the events in Mumbai and evidence that has been collected.
The evidence include confessions made by captured Mumbai attacker Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, records of satellite phone used by the terrorists and transcript of conversations between the attackers with their Lashkar handlers based in Pakistan, who were based near a Pakistani Army camp.
It also contains the log book recovered from MV Kuber, the fishing trawler hijacked by the terrorists to enter the Indian waters and tracks it journey from Karachi to Mumbai.
Evidences also point to the involvement of the ISI in planning and executing the terror attacks and includes taped conversations between ISI Majors and Generals.
However, columnist of a prominent Pakistani newspaper Dawn Ayaz Amir said that what ever Pranab Mukherjee has said is nothing new.
Pakistan has already said it has no record of Kasab, who was arrested by a team of Mumbai Police on the night on November 26, being a Pakistani citizen.
Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists attacked Mumbai on November 26 and took hostages at three major landmarks of the metropolis. The siege lasted for nearly 60 hours and came to an end after security forces gunned down nine of the 10 terrorists.
Over 200 people were killed and more than 300 other in injured during the attacks.
