LONDON: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on a visit to London, reiterated on Tuesday that New Delhi would provide Islamabad with evidence of alleged Pakistani involvement in the deadly Mumbai train bombings.

Indian authorities believe they can prove that Islamabad's Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency and the Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group helped plant the bombs that killed 186 people in July.

Pakistan's foreign ministry has pledged to take action if rival neighbour India produced any evidence of ISI's involvement.

"We will take advantage of that offer of Pakistan and we will provide what we consider as credible evidence to that effect," Singh said at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

In September, Singh and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf agreed at breakthrough talks in Havana, Cuba, to resume negotiations on the disputed territory of Kashmir and jointly battle terrorism.

Asked if India and Pakistan had agreed to set up a joint working group on Kashmir, Singh said: "You have to address the joint statement issued by me and President Musharraf after our meetings in Havana.

Blair added that he and Singh had agreed "that we've got to send the strongest possible signal everywhere that terrorism cannot be tolerated, whether it's in Mumbai, London, Kashmir, wherever it is.”No country, no government, no state should support it."
