'Whatever Headley has told the FBI has to be taken seriously by all those concerned and India's concerns have to be addressed,' said the external affairs minister.
Sending a stern message to Pakistan, external affairs minister SM Krishna today said it has to take note of LeT operative David Headley's revelations on Mumbai attacks "seriously" and not brush it under the carpet.
"Whatever Headley has told the FBI has to be taken seriously by all those concerned (Pakistan) and India's concerns have to be addressed," he told reporters accompanying him on his way back from Kabul, where he attended the International Conference on Afghanistan.
He said Headley's revelations are in public domain and they "cannot be brushed under the carpet".
Headley had told Indian investigators in Chicago that the ISI was involved in the planning of the 26/11 attacks from "beginning to the end". Krishna's comments came on a day Pakistan dismissed as "baseless" India's contention that Headley was linked to the Pakistani establishment and intelligence agencies.
He said he gave his assessment of his recent meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi to US secretary of state Hillary Clinton when he met her in Kabul today.
Krishna said he told Clinton that India wants a dialogue which would continue.
"It is not a dialogue which could be over in one sitting. India wants a graduated approach to deal with the problems with Pakistan," he told Clinton.
Clinton, who was in Islamabad yesterday, had said that interrogation of Headley has thrown up a "revealing set of facts" that have been shared with Pakistani authorities.
"I don’t know the specifics (of the revelations made by Headley) but I know that it has been quite a revealing set of facts that we've shared with the Pakistani authorities," Clinton had said during an interaction with a group of television anchors.
