Pakistan to grill India over Samjhota train blast probe
** India says investigation indicates New Delhi acting without prejudice *
By Iftikhar Gilani
NEW DELHI: Pakistan is preparing to question India over the probe into Samjhota train bombing at high-level meetings next week. India had initially blamed the 2007 train blast on individuals based in Pakistan and Bangladesh. But has recently arrested Hindu extremists, including a serving Indian army officer, with regard to the Samjhota blast as well as Malegaon attacks in the Indian state Maharashtra in September this year.
The foreign ministers and interior secretaries of the two countries are scheduled to meet next week.
India had initially named banned Pakistani organisations, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Jaish-e-Muhammad in collusion with Bangladesh-based Harkat-e-Jihad-e-Islami (HUJI), for the Samjhota train blasts that killed 68 people.
Indian officials had even handed over a suspect’s photograph and also mentioned the names of other suspects to their Pakistani counterparts.
Forensic evidence and the recent leads, found after the arrest of a serving Indian army officer and scores of Hindu activists, have now established a link between the Samjhota Express bombing, the May 2007 attack on Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad; and the October 2007 attack on the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer. Police have now accused a Hindu group, Abhinav Bharat, for these bombings previously blamed on Muslim and Pakistani groups.
Prejudice: Sources in the Ministry of External Affairs said they are ready to face Pakistani queries on the incident.
“This is a perfect example to indicate that New Delhi did not act with prejudice but on the basis of available facts,” said an official.
