^^Selective reading by habit??
Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told the CNN-IBN that as of now he could only say that Pakistan’s investigation was continuing and it could not be confirmed that Kasab was a Pakistani.
The State Minister for Interior, Tasnim Ahmed Qureshi told different news channels and representatives of newspapers that he could say with authority that Kasab was not Pakistani citizen and the Mumbai attack was a drama staged by the Indians themselves.
However, State Minister for Interior and Foreign Secretary took no time to believe the statement by by National Security Advisor General (Retd) Mehmood Ali Durrani thus creating bewilderment and confusion.
I know the article is in English, so try a bit harder -

Before the final word by Foreign Office on the identity of Kasab, the State Minister for Interior, Tasnim Ahmed Qureshi told different news channels and representatives of newspapers that he could say with authority that Kasab was not Pakistani citizen and the Mumbai attack was a drama staged by the Indians themselves.
Even, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told the CNN-IBN that as of now he could only say that Pakistan’s investigation was continuing and it could not be confirmed that Kasab was a Pakistani.

All the selective text you are quoting happened before the Foreign office confirmed Kasab's identity. All this "confusion" makes one wonder how the Pakistan state actuall functions ??
