Islamabad, November 10: Ajmal Kasab is a terrorist, a non-state actor and he should be sent to gallows, said Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik in a meeting on the sidelines of the 17th SAARC summit in the Maldives today.
The proposed visit of Pakistan’s judicial commission to India and its report can help in prosecuting the 26/11 accused, Malik said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today met his Pakistani counterpart Yousaf Raza Gilani to give a push to normalisation of bilateral relations marked by “shrinking” trust deficit.
The meeting comes a week after Pakistan took a path-breaking decision to confer MFN status to India 16 years after it got a similar treatment from New Delhi and the return of the Indian Air Force’s helicopter which had strayed into Pak-occupied Kashmir across the LoC last month.
