Make investigation report public: India to Pak

“We did not give them any deadline. They fixed their own deadline. We would like to see them complying with it,” Mukherjee told reporters on Thursday.

Pakistan had given 10 days to its three-member team of Federal Investigating Agency to look into the information given by India in its dossier on Mumbai attacks. That 10-day deadline had expired on January 27. On Wednesday,Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari said his government will announce the results of the investigations in another two to three days.

Mukherjee said that India expected Pakistan to act fast on its commitments.

Sources said that Pakistan was likely to brief diplomats in Islamabad about the findings of its investigations before making it public. In fact,the process of briefing has already started with Zardari meeting the ambassadors of a few European countries,a couple of day ago.

Meanwhile,the police in Lahore have claimed that they had arrested three “terrorists with connections to India’s external intelligence agency RAW”. The three were said to have carried out a bomb blast in 2006. Lahore police chief Pervaiz Rathore was quoted by Pakistani media as saying that the three arrested people had confessed to their connections with the RAW. Rathore said the three had admitted that they had traveled to India seven times and received training from the RAW operatives in Delhi and Amritsar. A large quantity of explosives,remote controlled bombs,maps,and drawings of sensitive installations were said to have been found from their possession.
