ISLAMABAD, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani President
Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani Tuesday agreed to
carry out a credible investigation of the evidence provided by India on Mumbai
attacks.
Gilani called on Zardari here at the Aiwan-e-Sadr on
Tuesday and they discussed tension between India and Pakistan and steps taken by
Pakistan to de-escalate the situation, private TV channel Geo reported.
The two leaders said that strict action would be
taken against any group found involved in Mumbai carnage.
Pakistan condemned state sponsored terrorism in all
its forms and manifestations, Zardari said and added that Pakistan's armed
forces were ready to foil any attempt of misadventure.
Zardari termed statement of Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh as "baseless" and "unfortunate." The Geo quoted Zardari as saying
that India wanted to gain some other motives from such propaganda.
Addressing a meeting of all the state chief ministers
on internal security, Singh said, "The terrorist attack in Mumbai in November
last year was carried out by a Pakistan-based outfit, the Lashkar-e-Taiba."
He said there was enough evidence to show it had the
support of some official agencies in Pakistan.
