    India on Monday handed over to Pakistan evidence about involvement of elements based in that country in the Mumbai terror attacks and asked Islamabad to implement its commitments.

    Stepping up the diplomatic offensive, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said he has written to his counterparts around the world and that countries are being briefed separately giving details of the Mumbai attacks and its links in Pakistan.

    "We have today handed over to Pakistan evidence of the links with elements in Pakistan of the terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008," Mukherjee told reporters in New Delhi.

    Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik was summoned by Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon to hand over the material.

    Describing the Mumbai attacks as "unpardonable crime", Mukherjee asked Pakistan to implement the bilateral commitments it has made at the highest levels to India and practice its international obligations.

    The evidence includes confession of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone Pakistani terrorist held during Mumbai terror strikes, records of GPS and satellite phones used by the attackers and transcript of conversations between the attackers and their handlers in Pakistan.

    It also includes details about weapons and other articles recovered.

    "This material is linked to elements in Pakistan. It is our expectation that the government of Pakistan will promptly undertake further investigations in Pakistan and share the results with us so as to bring the perpetrators to justice," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

    "We are also briefing all our friendly countries," the External Affairs Minister said.

    India hands over Mumbai evidence to PakBy: N.V.SANKARAN | 08-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward India will continue to give evidences of Pakistany complicity in the terror attacks and Pakistan will continue to reject them. The important question is whether India is going to do anything to destroy the terror camps in the Pakistan territory. Now that the international sentiments are in India's favour, at least superficially, it is time for India to take some decisive action instead of submitting evidences and wait for Pakistan to reject them to prepare fresh reports for submission. It is foolish to expect any other country in this world to fight a proxy war for India. India has to fight its wars against terrorism ourselves.
