Pranab slams Pakistan, asks who runs the show

External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee has slammed the Pakistani government's attitude on cracking down on terror organisations following the Mumbai terror attacks.

Mukherjee also questioned Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's control over the country and described captured Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab's confession as damning.

"One of the terrorist who has been captured alive has given us a chilling account of his handlers. A few months earlier the Indian Embassy in Kabul was the target of a terrorist attack. The impunity with which these attacks are carried out is possible only because of the safety the handlers have been assured," said Mukherjee.

"Mumbai attacks were not accidental or unintended. It was a cold and calculated move. Kasab has given a chilling account," the External Affairs Minister said.

Slammed the Pakistani government, Mukherjee alleged that other forces were pulling the strings in the government.
