NEW DELHI: India will confront Pakistan with evidence that the three terrorists who carried out attacks in Gurdaspur and the militant who was caught in Udhampur had come from across the border during the forthcoming National Security Advisor-level talks.
Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and speedy trial in 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case are also some of the key issues to be raised by India at the NSA-level talks with Pakistan on August 23.
The Home Ministry is preparing a detailed dossier with evidence that the three terrorists who carried out attack in Punjab’s Gurdaspur and Mohammad Naved Yakub, who was arrested in Udhampur in Jammu recently after an ambush on a BSF convoy, had come from Pakistan, official sources said today.
NSA Ajit Doval is likely to ask his Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz to hand over Dawood, a key accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, expeditious and comprehensive trial of 26/11 case to ensure that LeT founder Hafiz Saeed and outfit’s operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi could be punished.
Sources said if Pakistan raises the issue of Samjhauta Express blast case, Doval will counter Aziz that the key accused Swami Assemananda continues to be in jail but Lakhvi and his accomplice are no longer in prison and roaming freely.
Cross-border firing, infiltration from across the border and presence of militants’ camps in Pakistan will also be on the table. (AGENCIES)
