ShareThis June 18, 2010 2:40 p.m. EST Topics: politics, diplomacy, international relations, crime, crime, law and justice, terrorism, United States Tejinder Singh - AHN News Correspondent Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - Indian parliamentarians were given verbal assurances Friday by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that she would press Pakistan to hand over two Pakistanis suspected to be terrorists in the deadly 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed at least 173 people. She also reportedly offered assurance that Islamabad would not divert U.S. aid money to engage in anti-India activities. "We expressed our very strong concerns about dispensable assets like Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi in Pakistan against whom there is a very strong credible enormous dossier of evidence supplied to both Pakistan and the U.S., about why the U.S. should not use the stronger pressure to ensure that such assets are at least brought to book under the law of the land and not only cosmetically dealt with by local courts in Pakistan, who acquit them," the delegation leader told journalists at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) offices. Abhishek Singhvi spoke immediately after his meeting with Clinton and expressed concern over the proposed China-Pakistan nuclear deal. China's supplying of nuclear plants to Pakistan might be in contravention of guidelines of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, according to visiting lawmakers who asked the U.S. to ensure Pakistan does not allow its soil to be used for anti-India activities. "We also expressed our serious concerns about misusing U.S. aid by Pakistan and diverting it for anti-India activities, and how much micro-scrutiny can be done by the U.S. to ensure that the legitimate aid does not get diverted for anti-India purposes," said the Indian National Congress party leader. Singhvi is leading a group of all-party MPs who are attending the fourth India-Yale Parliamentary Leadership Programme organized annually by Yale University and FICCI. He said the response of American officials to India's concerns has been "understanding, sympathetic, and absorbent.” "They appreciated each of the concerns of India in a detailed manner. All I can say is that they are extremely alive to it and I think we can expect, without any timelines, guarantees and assurances, very very positive action aligned with India's concerns on each of these issues," he told journalists. Commenting on the way the equations are being sorted in the Indian sub-continent, Singhvi said, “I think this is an important achievement that there is no hyphenation of India-Pak relations for the U.S. The hyphen if at all has shifted further westwards between Pakistan and Afghanistan. That is a positive sign.” Singhvi said U.S. officials are alive to the fact that India plays fully its "rightful role" in a constructive solution on the Afghanistan-Pakistan problem "and that India is very much part of that process as well," he said. "There is a great appreciation of the fact that the government of India and the prime minister have reached out within the constraints and within the overall Indian foreign policy and I think the U.S. government intends to put its best foot forward to make sure that the process goes in the right direction, at the right pace, and it is not easily allowed to be sabotaged by elements which want it to be sabotaged," he said.
