Pakistan rejected Thursday renewed Indian charges that Pakistani “state actors” were involved in planning and coordinating the 2008 Mumbai attacks that left 166 people dead.
“I would very strongly reject any insinuation of any involvement of any state agency in acts of terrorism in India,” Pakistani Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani told reporters after peace talks with his Indian counterpart, Ranjan Mathai.
The two top civil servants in their respective ministries held two days of talks in New Delhi that focused on bolstering a peace dialogue undermined by fresh tensions over the Mumbai attacks and political flux in Pakistan.
