ShareWASHINGTON: Sending a tough message to Pakistan, prime minister Manmohan Singh today said India "will not rest" till the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks are brought to justice. He also made it clear that India expects infrastructure of terror and all safe havens dismantled in
Pakistan.
"The Government will not rest till we have brought the perpetrators of this crime to justice. This is our solemn duty," Singh said while addressing a press conference here.
Singh said that India has taken up the matter with Pakistan and it expects the masterminds of the attack and their supporters to be tried and punished. "The infrastructure of terrorism and all safe havens have to be dismantled," he asserted.
The prime minister began the press meet saying he wished to say a few words on the eve of the first anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
Describing the attacks as a calculated attempt by "forces outside the country", he said these were aimed at destabilising India's secular polity, create communal discord and undermine the country's economic and social progress.
"Such forces should have no doubt that they will fail in their attempts," he asserted adding, "the supreme sacrifice that so many of our countrymen and women and those from foreign lands made last November will not go in vain". The 26/11 audacious attacks had left 166 killed and 304 injured.
