New Delhi, August 22: Keeping up the pressure on Pak to act against the perpetrators of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on Saturday said that India will keep providing information on JuD chief Hafiz Saeed.
“We are in continuous touch with the government of Pakistan. It is an ongoing exercise between India and Pakistan. So, as and when, we collect more evidence we will keep sending it across to Pakistan and that is what Foreign Secretary did yesterday,” Krishna said.
The statement comes a day after India gave another dossier on the 26/11 terror attacks to Pakistan. Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao handed over the fresh proof to Pakistani High Commissioner to India, Shahid Malik during a meeting at her South Block office.
The latest documents given to Pakistan reportedly provide critical evidence against Saeed. India has expressed dismay over Saeed’s release; someone it sees as the mastermind of the Mumbai terror attacks.
However, Pakistan has, of late, been dragging its feet on moving against Saeed. Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Islamabad will respond to the fresh Indian dossier regarding the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks only after examining the documents handed over to it.

Earlier too, Qureshi has argued that the dossiers with information on the Mumbai attacks provided by India do not have any proof regarding the culpability of Saeed.
New Delhi had earlier given four dossiers to Islamabad providing inputs on the terror suspects and logistics including communication used by those involved in carrying out the attacks in Mumbai. They also contained responses to many queries raised by Pakistan relating to lone surviving terrorist Ajmal Kasab and others.
