A day after David Headley admitted to his role in 26/11 in a plea bargain in America, Home Minister P Chidambaram stepped up pressure on Pakistan to take action against the 26/11 perpetrators.
In a statement, Chidambaram said Headley's guilty plea is a severe indictment of the role played by terrorists in Pakistan. (Read: Chidambaram's full statement). The statement says:
"India would be able to obtain access to David Coleman Headley to question him in a properly constituted judicial proceeding. Such judicial proceeding could be either pre-trial or during an inquiry or trial. It is also my understanding that David Coleman Headley is obliged to cooperate fully and truthfully in such proceedings... The plea agreement is the most damning indictment of the role played by certain persons in Pakistan... The "plea agreement" should spur Pakistan to take action against all the conspirators and bring them to justice. Nothing short of that will be acceptable to India or will satisfy world opinion."
