Agreeing to a demand made by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Pakistan today decided to depute the chief of ISI Shuja Pasha to New Delhi soon to "cooperate" in the investigations into the Mumbai terror attacks in which Pakistani elements are suspected to be involved.
Singh had requested Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to depute Pasha to India "to cooperate in the investigations of the Mumbai attack and for sharing certain certain information".
Singh also received a call from President Asif Ali Zardari, who assured him that Islamabad "will cooperate with India in exposing and apprehending the culprits and masterminds behind" the attacks in Mumbai.
The President told Singh non-state actors wanted to force upon the governments their own agenda but they must not be allowed to succeed. We should not fall into the trap of the militants.
Accepting the Indian Prime Minister's request, Gilani said: "The two sides will work out modalities for the visit of the Inter Services Intelligence chief which is expected to take place soon."
