Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday blamed "miscommunication" with India for Islamabad seemingly going back on its promise.
NEW DELHI: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday blamed "miscommunication" with India for Islamabad seemingly going back on its promise to send Director General of ISI to New Delhi and instead said a Director-level officer will be coming.
Zardari claimed that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a telephonic talk with him yesterday, had requested for sending "Director".
"There was a miscommunication... We had announced that a Director will come from my side.. That is what was requested by the Prime Minister and that is what we agreed," the Pakistan President told Karan Thapar's 'Devil's Advocate' programme.
"It is too early for the Director Generals to meet at the moment. Let the evidence come to light, let the investigations take its course. Then perhaps there is a position where the Directors General could meet," Zardari said.
Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had on Friday reportedly agreed to his Indian counterpart's request for sending ISI DG Shuja Pasha so that evidence about Pakistani linkages to the Mumbai terror strikes could be shared with him.
"The DG is too senior a person to get into the investigation. He is a person who overall looks into the investigation," the Pakistan President said.
"It is too early for the Directors General to meet at the moment. Let the evidence come to light, let the investigations take its course. Then perhaps there is a position where the DGs could meet," Zardari said.
"The DG is too senior a person to get into the investigation. He is a person who overall looks into the investigation," the Pakistan President said on Saturday.
