New Delhi: Pakistan toughened its stance on Tuesday on the terror dossier provided by India and claimed that New Delhi has not given any evidence to Islamabad related to Mumbai terror attacks.

Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir said the terror dossier that India has given has little information and is not credible. "The details provided by India are mere information and cannot be treated as evidence or help in the investigations," Bashir told the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs.

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

He said that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement, in which he accused Pakistani elements of being behind the Mumbai terror attacks, has made the situation worse in the sub-continent and added that India wanted to isolate Pakistan internationally.

Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Malik Ahmad Khan, too, blamed India for not giving any evidence to Pakistan related to Mumbai terror attacks.

"India has not even begun its official investigation. We will give befitting response to Indian military’s adventurism. India has not pushed back its forces from forward position on Pakistan’s eastern borders," said Malik Ahmad Khan.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is preparing its own dossier to counter India's charge that the Mumbai terror attacks were planned and executed by terror groups based in Pakistan.

"Pakistan will soon send its dossier to Washington and other world capitals to let them know which state in South Asia has been supporting the menace of terror on the soil of neighbouring states," a senior Pakistan Foreign Ministry official said.

The dossier apparently contains evidence of the involvement of Indian nationals in terror acts in Pakistan tribal areas and Balochistan.

According to reports in Pakistani media, it has made it clear to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher that the proof brought to Pakistan is insufficient for any action.

It has also cast doubts over the authenticity of the letter written by Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab to the Pakistani High Commissioner in India Shahid seeking legal aid.
