    Menon has said that a commando-type operation couldn’t have happened without anybody in Pak knowing it.
    India on Monday demanded from Pakistan extradition of perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks so that they can be brought to justice in India.

    It also said that it cannot believe a commando-type operation that was in evidence in Mumbai attacks could have taken place without anybody in the Pakistani establishment knowing it.

    "Our goals are clear. We want the perepetrators to be brought to Indian justice," Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon told reporters in New Delhi briefing them on the material shared with Pakistan on Monday on elements based there linked to the terrorists responsible for the Mumbai carnage.

    "All that we want is action and not words from Pakistan. But so far there is no evidence of it," he said replying to questions.

    "We have given them material that has come up during our investigations. We hope Pakistan will investigate this material that leads to Pakistan, share the results with us and extend to us legal assistance so that we can bring the perpetrators to Indian justice," Menon said.

    "The assistance from Pakistan extends up to and includes extradition," he said.

    Maintaining that the time was not for words but for substance and action, Menon said so far India has "not seen any action at all" from Pakistan.

    "We would like to see real action as soon as possible," he said in reply to a question on a time-frame for a response from Pakistan.

    Observing that the investigation into the serial terror attacks in Mumbai were not over, the Foreign Secretary said while the crime was committed in India, the conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan.

    "Hence we have requested Pakistan to fulfil her commitments to us," he said.

    Maintaining that New Delhi had earlier given evidence to Islamabad on the deadly attack on Indian Embassy in Kabul, Menon said, "We are hoping that the previous pattern (of not cooperating) is not repeated in this case."

    Under international conventions and SAARC Charter, Pakistan was obliged to extradite the perpetrators of the terror attacks in India, he said.

    The material handed over to Pakistan in New Delhi and Islamabad includes the records of interrogation of arrested terrorist Mohd Ajmal Kasab, details of the terrorists' communication with elements in Pakistan during the attack, details of the weapons or equipment recovered from the crime scene and details of data recovered from GPS instruments and satellite phones, Menon said.

    "It is hard to believe that something of this scale that took so long in preparation and of this nature that amounts to a commando attack could occur without anybody, anywhere in the establishment knowing this was happening. This beggars my imagination. Wherever the investigation leads, we will follow," the Foreign Secretary said.

    Pak dilemna in extradition.By: Ashim Kumar Chatterjee | 06-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward India can give Pakistan any amount of evidence to Pakistan about it's involvement in act pof terror but Pakistan shall never ever accept them and for understandable reason. If Pakistan extradites, India and the rest of the world including USA and other states whose citizens died or suffered injuries in 26/11 attack in Mumbai would be entitled to interogate the extradited criminals to get more evidences of Pakistan's involvement, which will prove that Pakistan is a rougue state. Questions shall be raised as to whether a rougue state can be allowed to be a nuclear power state. It appears is preordained that end of terrorism must begin in Pakistan for which Pakistan itself is creating conditions. One,as an Indian, would like Pakistan to remain strong and stable as a modern state without hang overs of Mughal glory, which works in Pak psyche. UN resolution for plebiscite helps foster and sustain Pak' s self perception as a great Islamic state. UN should withdraw it for sustainable peace.
    REST YOUR JAWS OUR EARS ARE HURTINGBy: Anil Kohli | 06-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward When our own government is not doing anything, is it not foolish expect others to do something about it. This government of ours has to first of all accept the fact that this is not terrorism that we are dealing with. This war which being controlled and coordinated from Pakistan by it Army/ISI with tacit approval of the Civilian government. The ploy is working wonderfully well for Pakistan Zardari
    ACT ON AFZAL GURU FIRST THEN DEMAND FROM PAKBy: Prakash Menon | 06-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward INDIANS DEMAND FROM GOVT OF INDIA ACTION ON THAT CRIMINAL WHO INVADED THE TEMPLE OF DEMOCRACY, THE PARLIAMENT. UNTIL SONIA ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN, LET US NOT JOIN THEM TO DEMAND ANYTHING FROM PAKISTAN.
    Havent seen any action? Wait for next mumbai Pls.By: oldindian | 06-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward India has lots to learn from israel. Our present govt is acting like chamberlain did. Pakistan is on the course to becoming either a rumpus state or another mujahideen phase similar to post 80's invasion of afghanistan is about to start; where US will not bother about terrorist outfits ripping off india as long as their forces can continue to occupy afghanistan. Unless the terrorist get mad enough to do their sabotage act in china, it is not going to involve in this mess. It is time for India like Israel to take unilaterall action and for sake of future generation be ready to bear the cost of war. We must not aim at anything less than total annihilation - if not of entire pakistan then its western frontier. Pakis are very clear about how they view us. It is time for us to understand what our enemy is upto and act. No more lotus eating in the name of peaceful co existence.
