Pranab Mukherji says 26/11 conspirators must face Indian Justice

Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Friday (January 16) said that the preprators of last year's Mumbai attack must be handed over to face "Indian justice" and clarified that there is "no dilution" of that stand.


"The fact that dastardly terror crimes have been committed in India, therefore the perpetrators must face Indian justice. This is not an either or situation as these things are not mutually exclusive," said Pranab, while addressing media persons in India's national capital.


Indian foreign minister added that perpetrators must be handed over to India.
"We have never given up the demand that perpetrators of the terror acts should be handed over to India. There is no question of that we have given up that demand or we have climbed down," said Pranab.


Mukherjee also asked Pakistan to conduct a sincere and transparent investigation so as to unearth the entire episode.
