Islamabad: Smarting from the US' unilateral action on its soil to take out Osama bin Laden last week, Pakistan has warned that no one "should even dare to think they can carry out a similar operation."
That message seems to go out to neighbour India too, which has asked when the victims of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks will get justice. In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik said he had sent Home Minister P Chidambaram a private message to ensure that the Osama operation was highlighted positively.
"We resolve to end terror completely, I assure you the policy of the Pakistan government will not allow terrorists to operate from here. I have respect for Chidambaram...I sent a private message to Chidambaram that this incident should be highlighted positively. Nobody should even dare to think they can carry out similar operations," Mr Malik said.
Mr Malik said the delay in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks case trial was not because of the Pakistan government but because of the courts.
Mr Malik said a "flaw in the Evidence Act" had caused delays. His government, he said, had filed an appeal in the High Court to allow it to take voice samples of 26/11 suspects and send them to India. This, after the government's appeal was rejected in a lower court, he said.
"We are awaiting formal clearance for Pakistan's judicial commission to travel to India," Malik added.
