Pakistan not serious: India
2009-06-03
The Indian government voiced its unhappiness on Tuesday over the Lahore High Court (LHC) decision to release Jaamatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, saying it demonstrated Pakistan was not "serious" in tackling terror.

Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters outside Parliament House the release of the JD chief has ruined the chances of early resumption of dialogue with Islamabad. "It is a commentary on the commitment of Pakistan to investigate the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack," he said. He said the move showed Islamabad's "lack of seriousness" in bringing the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai carnage to justice.

Also on Tuesday, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna objected to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani's remarks that the Kashmir issue "holds the key to durable peace in the region". Meanwhile, Junior Foreign Minister Shashi Tharoor said Saeed's release was a "big disappointment" for India.
