The Indian side will also confront Pakistan with evidence that the three terrorists who carried out attacks in Gurdaspur and the two terrorists who struck in Udhampur, one of whom was caught alive, had sneaked in from across the border for the attacks, government sources said here today.
Deportation of Dawood Ibrahim and speedy trial in 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case are some of the key issues to be raised by National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval with his counterpart Sartaj Aziz during the talks next week, the sources said.
Expecting Pakistan to raise the issue of Samjhauta Express blasts in which majority of the victims were Pakistanis, the Indian side is expected to dismiss its comparison with Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
Doval is expected to point out that while the Mumbai carnage was carried out at the behest of and with active involvement of Pakistani state agencies, there was no such aspect in the Samjhauta blast, the sources said.
On the other hand, the trial in 26/11 case in Pakistani is going nowhere and all prime accused, including LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, are roaming freely.
Besides, Islamabad had not acted upon the Letters Rogatory (a formal request from a court to a foreign court for for judicial assistance) sent in connection with the Mumbai terror attack case.
