Pakistan has already done enough to show its commitment to peace with nuclear rival India and it is now up to New Delhi to reciprocate by agreeing to talks, a government spokesman said. The senior official also said Pakistan would not meet India's demand for the extradition of 20 alleged terrorists until New Delhi agreed to discuss the matter.
Pakistan has nothing more to do. Now the next step has to come from India, the spokesman told reporters, requesting anonymity.
There is no question of further action. Now it is for them to start taking actions and through their responses demonstrate to the world that they are serious about the initiation of a dialogue and peace process. As long as they do not respond Pakistan cannot do anything else.
The lists are subject to dialogue and discussion. We cannot just act on a list. This will have to be part of a dialogue process, the spokesman said.
Indian foreign minister Jaswant Singh said that India would wait and watch to see the concrete results of Musharraf's crackdown on Islamic extremism.
It has not been even 10 days since a major change of policy. It's not for me to judge how long it will take him (Musharraf) to change Pakistan, Singh said.
