Pakistan said that it has not received any evidence from India on the involvement of ISI in the July 11 Mumbai serial train blasts.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said on Monday that it has not yet received any evidence from India on the involvement of the country's intelligence agency ISI in the July 11 Mumbai serial train blasts.
"Pakistan has not yet received the evidence from India about the Mumbai Police allegations about ISI's involvement in the Mumbai blasts," Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said.
Asked about India's decision to share the evidence with European Union during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's current foreign tour, she said Islamabad has no objection to India sharing the evidence with any other country.
US has already said it has received the evidence from India in connection with Mumbai blasts, she said.
Mumbai Police, which investigated the July 11 train blasts, had pointed at the involvement of Interservices Intelligence (ISI) in the bombings.
Asked if it was right on the part of India to provide evidence to other counties even after the two countries agreed to set up a joint anti-mechanism, Aslam said, "we have repeatedly told India, even before the agreement on institutional mechanism that if India has any evidence it should share with us, by all means if they want share with EU and others, fine, but for us these are just allegations as long as we do not see evidence".
On the Foreign Secretary-level talks scheduled to be held in New Delhi to review the third round of the Composite Dialogue, she said the two Foreign Secretaries were in touch and the meeting was expected to be held after Ramadan.
"They talked about some dates but no final decision yet," Aslam said about the Foreign Secretary-level talks.
About the claims made by Hurriyat leader Sayed Ali Gilani that the Indo-Pak peace process would hurt the "freedom struggle" in Jammu and Kashmir, she said Gilani was entitled to his view.
"We do not comment on views of individual leaders. What we hope to achieve through this peace process is a solution of Kashmir dispute acceptable to Pakistan, India and Kashmiris," she said.
On the controversy over the death sentence awarded to Afzal Guru, who was indicted by the Supreme Court in the Parliament attack case, she said Guru's family has filed a petition for clemency.
"Until a decision is made we do not want to comment," she said.
