Washington: India will get direct access to 26/11 conspirator David Headley soon, that's what America's Attorney General Eric Holder has told India's Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium at a meeting they had in Washington. Speaking exclusively to NDTV after having met Eric Holder, Gopal Subramanium said the purpose of his visit had been achieved.
NDTV: You know the Indian legal system like the back of your hand but you are here to get a crash course in the American legal system, to find out how India can get access to Headley through legal means. Under these circumstances, since he has entered a plea bargain with the US, what are India's options?
NDTV: The fact that you met Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, does that mean America is taking India's concerns and sensitivities seriously?
NDTV: The US Ambassador to India Timothy J Roemer has given India his assurance that the US will provide support at the highest levels. Is that also the understanding that you have gotten from your two-day trip here?
We certainly plan to respect the legal processes. I do hope that this signals the beginning of an era of continued cooperation where information is going to be shared, where inputs are going to have to be shared by different countries, which have common threads and common avenues of danger against national security.
NDTV: So what happens now ... when do Indian authorities actually get to meet Headley and question him?
