Continuing his attack against Indian officials, Rashid today said “no information was being provided by India about the dead and his efforts to get in touch with Indian Railway officials proved futile.” He said the peace process was confined to a “privileged class” and has not percolated to the masses.

However, Indian officials here expressed surprise as to why the Pakistan Railway Minister was not getting in touch with his own Foreign Office, which is coordinating the relief work with its High Commission in New Delhi as well as the Indian Government.

Pak hopes outcome before joint meet

NEW DELHI: Pakistan on Thursday hoped India would share with it the outcome of the probe into the Samjhauta blast before the March 6 meeting of Joint Anti-Terror Mechanism so that “meaningful contribution” can be made to the fight against terror. A day after his talks with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Pakistan Foreign Minister Khushid Kasuri told TV channels here that he had been assured by his Indian counterpart that all the information regarding the investigation would be shared either before or during the anti-terror mechanism meeting in Islamabad.
