Indian FM brings 'peace message' to Pakistan: report
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - – India's Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna on Wednesday arrived in Pakistan saying that he brought a message of "peace and friendship" but calling on Islamabad to act decisively against terrorism.
"I am carrying with me a message of peace and friendship and we hope to undertake the voyage of peace, however long and arduous," the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency quoted him as telling reporters in Islamabad.
Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi are scheduled to meet Thursday in the first foreign ministers' talks since New Delhi suspended a four-year peace process after the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
"Pakistan must realise that India harbours no ill-will against it and the cancer of terrorism needs to be rooted out completely," Krishna said.
"There can be no selective efforts against this scourge. There is a clear and present danger from terrorist groups that needs to be appreciated and acted upon decisively," he said in the PTI report.
On the eve of the meeting, India reportedly accused Pakistani intelligence of overseeing the Mumbai attacks during which 10 Islamist gunmen went on a 60-hour rampage in the Indian city, leaving 166 people dead.
The Indian Express newspaper quoted Home Secretary G. K. Pillai as saying the role of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had become clearer through questioning of David Headley, a suspect under arrest in the United States.
"It was not just a peripheral role. They were literally controlling and coordinating it from the beginning till the end," Pillai was quoted as saying.
Krishna said he hoped to receive "feedback" on issues of terrorism raised by Home Minister P. Chidambaram, particularly in the light of discussions he had during a recent visit to Pakistan "in the context" of Headley's interrogation.
Thursday's talks will focus on how to resume India and Pakistan's peace process, which collapsed in the wake of the Mumbai attacks.
Krishna is also scheduled to meet Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
India blamed Pakistani-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba for the 2008 attacks and demanded that Islamabad bring the perpetrators to justice.
"India is committed to resolving all issues with Pakistan through peaceful dialogue and negotiations based on mutual trust and confidence," Krishna said.
Both sides say they are to discuss "all issues" concerning relations between the two countries, which have fought three wars since independence in 1947.
A Pakistani anti-terrorism court has charged seven suspects in connection with the Mumbai attacks, including alleged mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and alleged LeT operative Zarar Shah, but Pakistan has said it needs more evidence.
"We are approaching the meeting with a positive mindset," Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said.
The Krishna-Qureshi talks on Thursday will be the third major contact between the two countries in six months.
The Indian and Pakistani prime ministers met in April on the sidelines of a regional summit in Bhutan, which set in motion the process of reviving suspended contacts at different levels of government.
