Union home minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday said confidence cannot be restored between India and Pakistan till Islamabad takes action against the "real culprits" responsible for the 2008 Mumbai Terror Attack .
"The fundamental cause of friction between the two countries is Pakistan not taking action to bring the real controllers and perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks to justice," a news agency quoted Chidambaram as saying during an interaction with visiting Pakistani journalists.
Asked about the seven terror suspects who had been put on trial in Pakistan on charges of involvement in the Mumbai incident, Chidambaram said only two of them, including Lashkae-e-Taiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, were "real culprits" while the rest were "foot soldiers". Giving an example, he said Indian security forces had recently killed five militants while they were attempting to infiltrate from Pakistan.
During the interaction, Chidambaram also stressed the need for Pakistan to provide India with voice samples of certain terror suspects in the light of revelations made by 26/11 accused David Coleman Headly and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana.
If Pakistan did not want to provide the voice samples to India, it could hand them over to the US for examination, Chidambaram said. The US had also confirmed that that there are terrorist training camps in Pakistan, he added.
Chidambaram contended that the authority of Pakistan's civilian government had "further diminished" in the aftermath of the May 2 US raid in Abbottabad that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Things would not improve if the military and intelligence agencies continue to play a dominant role, he hinted.
