A day after India handed over to Pakistan more evidence regarding the Mumbai terror attacks, external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday, said he expected Islamabad to follow up its commitment with "tangible action."

"Words and commitments should be followed by tangible action," he told a press conference here when asked whether he was satisfied with Pakistan's handling of the investigation into the Mumbai attacks.

Mukherjee pointed out that India has been demanding Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure on its soil, handover to Delhi fugitives under the Indian law, and bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror strikes to justice.

"Question is not (about) objective satisfaction or dissatisfaction. It is a question of certain hard facts," he said.

"From day one, day one means the day I had a conversation with my Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi, what we want is the dismantling of the infrastructure of facilities available to terrorists located in Pakistan," Mukherjee said.

He said the evidence of dismantling of terror facilities should be shared not only with India but also with the international community.

"Second (issue) is fugitives of Indian law that they must be handed over to us. Third, the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks must be brought to justice," Mukherjee said.

On Friday, India provided more evidence, including forensic reports, to Pakistan and asked it to proceed fast in prosecuting those behind the 26/11 carnage on the basis of the "very comprehensive" and "solid" material.

Foreign secretary Shivshankar Menon had handed over the 401-page dossier, containing replies to Pakistan's questions, to Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik a month after Islamabad posed the queries.

The second dossier include telephone conversations of the 10 attackers and their Pakistan-based handlers, fingerprints
and other details of the terrorists who struck in besides forensic analysis of GPS, ammunition and other equipment used by the terrorists.
