Talks with Pakistan to continue despite 26/11 revelations: Krishna

NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna on Wednesday said talks with Islamabad will continue even though Pakistani-born Canadian citizen Tahawwur Hussain Rana and accomplice David Headley have reportedly admitted that Pakistan's spy agency ISI was involved in masterminding the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.

Both Headley and Rana, in their testimony to US interrogators, have accepted working on behest of the ISI and the Pakistani government, reports said.

Asked if the revelation will change the Indian government's stand, Krishna said the two issues were different.

"Peace talks will go on, cricket matches will go on and simultaneously our relentless efforts will continue to bring to justice all those responsible for the heinous crime against India in Mumbai. These are two different aspects," Krishna said.

He said the Rana and Headley's confession will be taken up with the Pakistan government.

"We will certainly take it up. We are in constant touch with the Pakistan government through our diplomatic channels," he said.
