ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI E. AHAMED)

(a) to (d) Government has conveyed to Pakistan on several occasions that despite the repeated assurances given by Pakistan’s leadership at the highest level and the extensive cooperation extended by India in connection with the ongoing trial and investigation in Pakistan on the Mumbai terrorist attacks, substantive and verifiable progress has not been made on bringing all the perpetrators and masterminds of the heinous attacks to justice.

Pakistan authorities have now also been asked to propose dates for the visit of their Judicial Commission to visit Mumbai to complete the prosecution evidence after conducting cross examination of the four prosecution witnesses in the Mumbai terror attacks trial underway in Rawalpindi. Pakistan’s response is still awaited in this regard.
