Krishna said “the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks will have to be brought to justice. We have painstakingly collected evidence to convey the involvement of these persons.”

To a question regarding the Interpol notice,the minister said,“I think the world should take note of these developments and then they will have to come to their own conclusions.”

“India can only do this much and nothing beyond that. We have done whatever we can and will continue to impress on decidability of curbing terror,” he said.
