in the ongoing dialogue between the two nuclear-powered neighbours, DawnNews reported.

"We have given new evidence to Pakistain regarding Hafiz Muhammad Saeed's involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks," Indian Interior Secretary R K Singh, who is leading his delegation in Islamabad, told media representatives on Thursday.

Moreover, the Indian secretary said that they had also briefed the Pak delegation on the progress in the Samjhota Express investigations.

The talks, scheduled to last for a period of two days, commenced today with the Pak delegation led by Interior Secretary Siddique Akbar Khwaja. Thursday's talks were expected to focus on cooperation between the two countries on issues pertaining to security and drug trafficking.

The Pak interior secretary said that both delegations are of the view regarding relaxation of the visa policy between the two countries.

Earlier before talks began, the Indian secretary said that his country was not satisfied with Pakistain's investigations into the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

, while on a visit to India, blamed Pakistain of "not doing enough" against Saeed.

Pakistain had demanded proof of his involvement in terrorism, which is good enough to stand in court of law.

"Our position on Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is clear. We have independent and active courts. If anyone has proof against him, they should share it with us so that the courts can examine it," Foreign Office front man Moazzam Khan had said.
