NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD - As Pakistan asked India to share information on fresh terror threats, New Delhi Tuesday said unless Islamabad takes credible action against the 26/11 suspects, it will be “extremely difficult” to resume meaningful talks.

India also underlined that it has already “shared solid proof of possible terror attacks” from the Pakistani territory.

“Unless visible and credible action is taken against the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks, it will be extremely difficult to hold any meaningful talks with Pakistan,” External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said on the sidelines of a function held to release a book on India’s foreign policy.

“The prime minister has made his position clear,” Krishna said when asked about Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks Monday about Pakistan-based terrorists plotting attacks against India.

“We are hoping that the perpetrators of 26/11 will be brought to justice,” Krishna said.

The book, “India’s Foreign Relations - 2008 Documents”, is dedicated to the memory of V. Venkateswara Rao and Brigadier R.D. Mehta, Indian diplomats who were killed in an attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul July 7, 2008.

The attack was blamed on Pakistan-backed Taliban militants, which put the India-Pakistan composite dialogue under stress.

Krishna’s remarks came hours after Pakistan asked India to share information on fresh terror threats.

“If the (Indian) prime minister says something like this, we can’t take it lightly,” Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters on the sidelines of an official function in Islamabad.

“If there is such information with (India), share it with the government of Pakistan so that we can pre-empt such an act,” he said.

“In all sincerity, we would request India to share information they have and for our part we stand ready to cooperate fully in pre-empting any act of terror,” Pakistan’s Foreign Office said.

The Indian envoy in Pakistan asserted that proof of this had already been shared.

India has already provided to Pakistan solid proof of possible terror attacks being staged on it from this country, Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal was quoted as saying.

“Terrorists living on Pakistani soil are posing a serious threat to India and it is the responsibility of the Pakistani government to eliminate it,” the Online news agency quoted Sabharwal as saying.

The terrorists who executed the 26/11 Mumbai carnage belonged to Pakistan and proof of this had been provided to Islamabad, which should take the necessary action in this regard, the envoy said.
