Islamabad, Aug 6 - Six days after India provided additional information on the involvement of Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Pakistan Thursday said this was inadequate.
At the same time, it expressed confidence that the upcoming meetings between the foreign secretaries and foreign ministers of the two countries would lead to progress for resumption of the composite dialogue process that India had frozen in the wake of the Mumbai mayhem.
'It needs to be underlined that the dossiers and information received from India on Saeed are not really enough to proceed legally,' Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said at his weekly briefing here.
'We are proceeding (against Saeed) in accordance with our own laws,' he added.
India Saturday provided Pakistan an additional seven-page dossier of evidence relating to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and underlined that it has given Islamabad enough proof to prosecute Saeed.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram said Saturday: 'There is enough evidence to proceed against Saeed.'
'The evidence provided in three dossiers is, in our view, sufficient to investigate role of Hafiz Saeed (in the Mumbai carnage),' the minister said, adding: 'The investigations in Pakistan will also throw up enough evidence.'
Saeed, who had been placed under house arrest in December after the UN proscribed the JuD in the wake of the Nov 26-29, 2008, Mumbai terror attacks, was released by the Lahore High Court in June citing lack of evidence.
On July 28, a defiant Pakistan said it would not arrest Saeed till adequate proof was provided of his involvement in the Mumbai carnage.
'We cannot arrest him till adequate proof is provided.
