India told Pakistan on Saturday it was awaiting “decisive” action against the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks as the country marked the third anniversary of the carnage that claimed over 170 lives. “We are still waiting for Pakistan to act decisively to bring to justice the perpetrators of the mindless violence that was unleashed on Mumbai,” Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna told reporters in New Delhi. India has alleged that Pakistan’s efforts to prosecute those behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks are a “facade” – an allegation rejected by Islamabad. India’s Supreme Court has stayed the death sentence handed down to the lone surviving gunman involved in the attack, Ajmal Kasab, pending an appeal hearing. In Mumbai, meanwhile, wreaths were placed at a police memorial and a minute’s silence observed in memory of the 18 security personnel who were killed during the three-day siege. A total of 166 people were killed. At the same time on Saturday, Krishna said New Delhi wanted to live in peace with its neighbours. “We call upon all our neighbours to join us in this endeavour of building a better future for our people,” he said.
