Pak cannot guarantee prevention of Mumbai like attacks: Qureshi

Islamabad, January 29: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that Indian demands from Pakistan seeking guarantee for prevention of Mumbai like attacks in future is unrealistic.

Qureshi ruled out likelihood of meeting with his Indian counterpart Krishna during London Conference, as India is not displaying seriousness for composite dialogue.

In an interview with TV channel, Qureshi asserted I am not sensing zeal and enthusiasm in Indian leadership for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue therefore I do not expect meeting with SM. Krishna.

Responding to a question on IPL rift, he said IPL row has grown tension between two countries.

To another question, he said, evidences India provided to Pakistan for Hafiz Saeed’s involvement in Mumbai attacks were insufficient backing PM Gilani’s statement, Shah Mehmood said Pakistan cannot guarantee prevention of Mumbai like attacks in future.

Meanwhile Indian External Affairs Minister S.M Krishna said his country was ready to start composite dialogue with Pakistan.

Talking to media persons Krishna said he will be pleased after meeting his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi during the London conference.
He said he was ready to talk Pakistani counterpart on the side lines of the London conference which is underway to review Afghan security situation.
