Boston, April 22: The perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks must be brought to justice if talks between India and Pakistan, resumed “despite the pressure of terrorism” emanating from the neighbouring country, have to be productive, a top Indian diplomat said today.
India is desirous of building a “future with Pakistan defined by the power of cooperation rather than the perils of conflict that leads us to hope for a stable, moderate and prosperous Pakistan,” Indian Ambassador Meera Shankar said.
Speaking to students at the Harvard Kennedy School here, Shankar said India has “repeatedly extended the hand of friendship (to Pakistan), despite the pressure of terrorism emanating from Pakistan – as investigations after the Mumbai terrorist attacks and revelations of US national David Headley have shown.
