Pak denies any 48-hour deadline

[Awesome]

Pak agrees to 48-hour timetable for action against LeT: Report-USA-World-The Times of India

So unless the TOI is blatantly lying, it is true.

This story from the Washington times is on similar lines.

Not at all the same thing.

Just for your information, Pak military forces are not mobilising, no one recieved "the call" yet.

NDTV.com: Pakistan denies 48-hour deadline report

This is nice, only Indian media reported it, and now Indian media denied it.

I agree. There is a difference.

Not feeling the urge to do a thorough search of "The Washington Times" Saturday edition now.

Will try that later.

 

[Awesome]

This is interesting, Indians are now bending their backs to make Pakistan at least look cooperative so they can massage their egos that they made Pakistan do something.

You learn something new everyday.

^^^sounds like mere speculation by media esp the sources being quoted are "anonomous"

Possible. But many times even authentic news comes through the same "anonymous" sources.

Let us wait for some time I think. Right now it should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism.

What would it take for you to change your views?

What if the deadline is really there? What is the LET leaders are actually arrested?

Would that make you change your views?

The LeT is banned and SHOULD be arrested, jailed and hung.

But, while these are genuine intentions of Pakistanis, Indians want to massage their egos by making it look like they arm twisted Pakistanis into doing so.

It's all about appearances. India doesn't care about justice it just wants to appear bullying Pakistan around.

I agree with the last part. Pakistan may do the things that need getting done but would want it to appear as not under coercion and at least not under, heaven forbid, Indian coercion.

So if the LET arrests occur at this point, they would seem to point to complicity of Pakistani individuals. So all the "alternate" theories would go for a toss!

Pakistan has a wild wild west situation going on. We have our hands full with killing terrorists.

A lot of militancy is there which we are fighting against. There is always the possibility that one of them had a grudge to grind against India. However that does not implicate Pakistanis, ISI, or even Hamid Gul. We've killed many terrorists acting against foreign nations from Pakistani soil, for India it should be no different.

But the problem starts when India starts demanding people be handed over and implicating the Pakistani government.

The Pakistan Connection​

Newyork Times
6 Dec 2008

Pakistan’s government has fiercely denied any role in the terrorist attacks on Mumbai that killed more than 160 people. We hope that is true. But there are strong signs that the terrorists were members of the Pakistani-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba, a former proxy of Islamabad’s powerful intelligence service that — despite being officially banned — continues to operate in plain sight in Pakistan.

Any act of terrorism is horrifying, but the potential aftermath of this one is even more so.

India and Pakistan have already fought three wars. Both are nuclear armed. It is not hard to imagine that the attackers’ real goal was to disrupt recent efforts to improve relations — and provoke an even greater cataclysm. Everything must be done to avoid that.

India has so far shown extraordinary restraint. It will have to continue to do so as the investigation moves forward. Pakistan, which has bounced between sympathy and bluster, must provide full cooperation — no matter where the investigation leads.

Pakistan’s president, Asif Ali Zardari, must face up to his country’s involvement — whether official or nearly so. We know his new civilian government is weak, and he may not be able to accede to New Delhi’s demands that all suspects be turned over to India for prosecution.

At a minimum, his government must be ready to arrest and try anyone involved in the attacks, and mete out long jail terms if they are convicted. Islamabad must finally shut down all the Lashkar training camps and recruitment activity.

We also are waiting for a forceful public repudiation of the militant groups from the Army chief of staff, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, and his personal pledge that all ties between Pakistan’s military and the extremists will be severed. His silence is deafening.

India must share intelligence with Pakistan on the attack. Instead of boxing Mr. Zardari in, it should ask his government to arrest only people who are directly linked to the Mumbai attacks, not other incidents.

For any lasting peace, India and Pakistan must settle their dispute over Kashmir, the biggest flashpoint. India’s growing investment and intelligence network in Afghanistan also is feeding Islamabad’s insecurity and sense of encirclement. India must be transparent about its involvement in Afghanistan.

If the two countries are going to inch back from the brink, they will need strong support from the United States, China and others powers. These countries also must develop a strategy to strengthen Pakistan’s fragile civilian government and stop the country from becoming even more ungovernable.

That does not mean impunity for anyone involved in the Mumbai attacks. It means that the leaders of Pakistan’s military and intelligence services must finally realize that the extremists pose a clear and present threat to their own country’s survival.

I think that has been my position all along. Yes, it could be Pakistanis and not Pakistan (as in at Government level) that could be involved and it is both the countries that need to weed them out.

Not sure why Hamid Gul's name came in the reports? Was he involved in this attack?
