India welcomes Pakistan's admission on Mumbai attacks, wants more

India welcomed Pakistan's admission of its soil being used for planning the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. External Affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee said this is a "positive development," adding Pakistan's reply came only after India urging and petitioning them ore than four times.

Mukherjee said that Pakistan's early reaction to 26/11 was not appropriate and that "denial, diversionary tactics have characterised Pakistan's response."

The Minister stressed that the primary responsibility for 26/11 was on Pakistan. "Terror from Pakistan is a direct threat to India."
