INT'POL SATISFACTION OVER PAKISTAN MEASURES

ISLAMABAD: Interpol has expressed satisfaction over measures taken by Pakistan in connection with Mumbai attacks. The Interpol team during a meeting with adviser on Interior Affairs Rehman Malik said India did not provide any concrete evidence about the involvement in Mumbai attacks.
Rehman Malik said steps were taken against Jamaat-ud-Dawa in accordance with United Nations rules. Pakistan is investigating, but so far India has not provided any concrete proofs.
Interior Secretary Kamal Shah and other officials of interior ministry were also present during the meeting.
However the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Monday said Pakistan armed forces would give an equal response within few minutes if India carried out any surgical strike inside Pakistan.
He said this in a meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari at the Aiwan-e-Sadr here. The crux of the meeting was that any further buckling under mounting Indian pressure would prove counter-productive in the sense that it would further encourage New Delhi to further build up pressure on Islamabad.
The Army chief apprised the president of operational preparedness of the armed forces. “The armed forces are fully prepared to meet any eventuality, as his men are ready to sacrifice for their country,” General Kayani told the president.
