Letters-55: "Pakistan's Admission"

1. It was not because of India's diplomatic campaign that Pakistan finally admitted to its role in the 26/11 attack. It was because of the arm-twisting by the United States and the other countries whose citizens were killed in the attack that Pakistan finally relented. - P.R.Mahesh Kumar, Chennai.

2. Despite the relentless diplomatic pressure India and other nations exerted on Pakistan to get to the bottom of the conspiracy leading to the Mumbai terror attack and bring the conspirators to justice, Pakistan did everything to derail the investigation. In this context, Pakistan's 30 questions to India, some of which refer to possible local involvement in the attack, are hardly surprising. At a crucial time, when the whole nation was required to stand firm in its resolve to eradicate terrorism from our neighbour's stated policy, some of our politicians unfortunately played into its hands. - Capt.T.Raju(retd.), Secunderabad.
