NEW DELHI: Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Monday said India's position on the 26/11 Mumbai attack is very well known and there is nothing new in former Pakistan National Security Advisor Mahmud Ali Durrani's remark that it was a "classic example" of cross-border terror.
"India's position is very well known and consistent. There is nothing new for us," Rijiju told reporters here.
At a conference on combating terrorism here, Durrani said the 26/11 terror strikes were a classic example of cross-border terrorism carried out by a Pakistan-based terror group.
Durrani, however, maintained that the Pak government had no role in the 2008 terror attack.
Probe into the 26/11 case by Indian agencies have brought to the fore the role of the Pak Government and its agencies in hatching the conspiracy and executing the deadly terror attack in which 166 innocent people were killed and scores others injured.
Investigation into the 26/11 case has pointed out the role of the Pak-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba that was backed by Inter-Services Intelligence and the army of that country.
Intelligence officials said the narrative in Pakistan is clear and all the agencies including the Pak Government, Army, ISI and the terror groups like LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammad are on the same page when it comes to hitting India.
Durrani’s statement could be aimed at shielding the Pak state actors like the ISI and Army from the blame of 26/11 attacks, the Intelligence officials added.
