NEW DELHI: Indian Home Minister P. Chidamabaram has said cannot hold responsible the Pakistan’s interstate elements involved in Mumbai attacks until the court’s verdict in the case gets unearthed.
In an interview with Indian television channel, he said the terror strikes like happened in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 could never ever be carried out without assistance of interstate elements.
He said Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving accused in 26/11 terror attacks, has confessed parts of charges leveled through charge sheet but not all.
Chidamabaram voiced doubts whether Pakistan would ever extradite Mumbai terror attack accused Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and others charged in Pakistan in the 26/11 case.
"I doubt Pakistan would be ready to extradite them, but even if Pakistan prosecutes them and acts according to the law, that would be a step forward," Chidambaram added.
The Indian Home Minister, however, expressed the hope that the confession of Ajmal Kasab will ensure that Pakistan expedites the trial against the other 26/11 accused.
