New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday put the onus of resumption of composite dialogue between India and Pakistan on the latter, saying Islamabad will have to show “visible results” in the Mumbai terror attacks probe before the two countries can sit together again.“Pakistan should show visible results on the 26/11 probe,” Dr Singh said at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, on the sidelines of the civil investiture ceremony.
“It has to prove that the government is doing all that is possible (to bring the perpetrators to book),” he said, adding “it is the least they should do to convince us of their sincerity.”
Both the countries will have to jointly face the scourge of terrorism, the Prime Minister stated further.
Regarding the accusations being levelled on his UPA government in connection with the imposition of the National Security Act (NSA) on BJP leader Varun Gandhi, Dr Singh said that the decision had nothing to do with the Centre. The decision to impose NSA was taken by the government of Uttar Pradesh, he added.
