The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday demanded that the ruling Congress Government should be firm in their stand to Pakistan regarding the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said that even after five years if the no action has taken against the perpetrators of the attack, then there is no scope for any dialogue between the two countries.
"The BJP would like to demand the Government to convey to Pakistan in very unmistakable term, that if after five years of 26/11 you are not taking any action against those terrorists who planned, executed it, then we will have no dialogue," he told media here today
Earlier on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde expressed hope that Pakistan would take action quickly against the perpetrators of the terror attack.
An eight-member Pakistani judicial commission team arrived in India in September to conduct the much-delayed cross-examination of witnesses in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The Mumbai attacks were twelve coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai, by members of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
On November 26, 2008, Ajmal Amir Kasab and nine other heavily-armed gunmen, who arrived in India by sea, attacked various places, including the Taj Mahal Hotel, Nariman House, Oberoi Hotel and Mumbai CST railway station, killing 166 people and injuring several others
Kasab, the only attacker who was captured alive, later confessed during interrogation that the attacks were conducted with the support of Pakistan's ISI.
He was hanged on November 21, 2012 and buried at Yerwada Jail in Pune.
