Islamabad: A day after New Delhi said it would confront Islamabad with the evidence of its involvement in the Mumbai blasts, Pakistan on Monday promised it would take action against any of its nationals having links with the attack, if provided information, but would not hand over any suspect.
If "India feels it is not propagandist and it feels that it has some information that suggests links with some people, some kind of connection, yes, we will take action and help India investigate," Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said.
However, she made it clear that Pakistan would not hand over anybody to India. "But at the same time nobody would be handed over," she said.
She was asked about Indian Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon's statement on Sunday that India would confront Pakistan with the evidence of ISI's involvement in Mumbai blasts.
She termed as "propagandist" Mumbai police commissioner A N Roy's assertions that ISI masterminded the blasts, which was carried out by activists of Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and SIMI.
She said Menon has not spoken about involvement of ISI. "The Indian Foreign Secretary did not say ISI was involved. It was the Mumbai Police Commissioner who made these allegations".
Asked whether India had forwarded evidence, she said: "We have not received anything yet."
