The two foreign ministers decided to continue the peace dialogue. Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi assured India of speedy trial of Mumbai terror attackers and S M Krishna said that that the assurance has been given at the highest level to bring the people responsible for Mumbai carnage to justice .Mr. Qureshi said Islamabad will seriously investigate the leads provided by New Delhi about the involvement of Pakistani born American David Hadley in the terror trail. The issue was taken up with Pakistan by the Home Minister P Chidambaram during his recent visit to Islamabad. Mr. Krishna made it clear that the inputs from Hadley received by FBI and the Indian team have been given to Pakistan and a fast track action on this front will be a great confidence building measure. Pakistan foreign minister noted that the terrorism is a common concern of the two countries and it calls for a working out a common strategy to eradicate this menace. Mr. Qureshi however, wanted India to send to Pakistan the magistrate and the police officials who investigated Ajmal Amir Kasab, sentenced to death for his role in the Mumbai assault, for deposing in the Pakistani courts. <br/>The Pakistani side raised the issue of Balochistan at the meeting to which India made it clear that it had never interfered in the internal affairs of any country. Pakistan has not provided even a shred of evidence to New Delhi so far to show any India link with the ethnic violence in the province. <br/>Pakistan also raised alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir in the context of present turmoil in the valley. Mr. Krishna however made it quite clear to the Pakistani leadership that the state has a duly elected government, tasked with dealing with the law and order situation. He also stated that the state government and human rights organizations would immediately take up any case of human rights violations in the valley and there was no reason for Islamabad to be concerned about it.<br/>Mr. Qureshi said that various issues and confidence building measures were discussed in a free and candid manner in the extended discussions.

BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad regretted Foreign Minister of Pakistan chose to attack India's Home secretary. Mr. Pillai had earlier this week said the ISI had coordinated Mumbai terror attacks. The Congress on its part described attempt by Pakistan to equate Pillai's remarks with Jammat-Ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed's anti-India hate speeches is ridiculous. Party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said the Home secretary's statement is only India's stand. Mr. Singhvi said there is no basis for comparison of statements by Hafiz Saeed or Salahuddin with the home secretary. Yesterday, at a joint news press conference with S M Krishna in Islamabad, Mr. Qureshi said Pillai's remarks were uncalled for.<br/> <br/>
