Headley's depositions in Mumbai terror attack trial in a Chicago court have "confirmed our suspicions that ISI is not only behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks but is also actively involved in a sustained hate campaign against India," Indian government sources said.
With damning revelations coming from David Headley's testimony about the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, New Delhi feels its worst fears have come true about Pakistan's ISI "working very closely" with terror outfits in that country and being behind a sustained "hate campaign" against India.
Headley's depositions in Mumbai terror attack trial in a Chicago court have "confirmed our suspicions that ISI is not only behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks but is also actively involved in a sustained hate campaign against India," Indian government sources said.
"Pakistan has a lot to answer and these things cannot be brushed under the carpet," the sources said.
Asked whether the fresh revelations would hamper the Indo-Pak dialogue process, the sources said while one cannot "gloss over the diabolical aspects", India would keep its engagement going with Pakistan.
"We would like Pakistan to be a good neighbour and a prosperous country", they said.
The sources noted that Pakistan's economy was neck-deep in trouble and its stability rather fragile.
"We would like Pakistan to realise that this hate-India campaign will not help them in any manner and should put an end to it," the sources said.
The sources noted that despite a number of assurances, Pakistan's territory was being used "day in and day out" in terror activities against India.
People like Hafiz Saeed, Mulla Omar and other terrorists were finding safe haven in Pakistan.
This issue is expected to be raised by foreign minister SM Krishna when he has a meeting with a full-fledged Pakistan foreign minister.
After Shah Mahmood Qureshi moved out, no one has been appointed as a cabinet minister heading the foreign ministry.
"Pakistan will have to get its act together," the sources said.
Asked about the fate of India's 'most wanted' list of 50, the sources said India was bringing pressure on Pakistan to bring them to justice.
India will take up with the US the revelations made by Headley when secretary of state Hillary Clinton visits India in July for taking forward the strategic dialogue between the two countries.
All bilateral issues as also issues covering the immediate neighbourhood and the extended neighbourhood will be discussed during the talks, the sources said.
