New Delhi today said it will take up with Pakistan claims made by a key Mumbai attack accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana before a US Court that he had acted at the behest of Pakistan government.External Affairs Minister S M Krishna told reporters in New Delhi that India is in constant touch with the Pakistan Government on the issue. He also made it clear that the dialogue process with Pakistan will continue. Rana, the Pakistani Canadian accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case, has claimed before a court in Chicago that he provided material support to the terrorists at the behest of the Pakistan Government and its spy agency ISI and not the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. When asked whether the revelations made by Rana would have an impact on India-Pakistan peace talks, Mr Krishna said, there are no contradictions in that position as these are two different aspects. He said, peace talks will go on,cricket matches will go on and simultaneously India's relentless efforts will continue to bring to justice all those responsible for the heinous crime against India in Mumbai.
