Tribune News Service

New Delhi, January 6
India today continued with its diplomatic offensive against Islamabad by briefing envoys from different countries on the involvement of elements in Pakistan in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

The government is also considering a proposal to send special envoys to some key countries to brief them on how the perpetrators of the attack received support from the Pakistani establishment.

A day after he briefed envoys of Russia and the countries whose nationals were killed in the Mumbai mayhem, Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon shared the material proving the involvement of LET men in the terror strikes with envoys of other members of the UN Security Council and seven heads of mission of neighbouring countries.

Nalin Surie, Secretary (West) in the External Affairs ministry and N Ravi, Secretary (East) also met envoys from European, African and Latin American countries and underlined the necessity for the world to prevail on Pakistan to sop exporting terror.

Indian envoys in different world capitals have also started briefing their host governments on the implications of the Mumbai attacks for the world’s fight against terrorism. Briefing the envoys in South Block, Menon is understood to have impressed upon them the need for the international community to mount pressure on Pakistan to eliminate terror infrastructure.

Meanwhile, reacting to Pakistan’s consistent denial of the involvement of its nationals in the massacre, MoS for External Affairs Anand Sharma said the acceptance of Pakistani nationality of Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist from the Mumbai attack, would be the “first step” to indicate Islamabad’s intention to cooperate.
