NEW DELHI Latest News : Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters that tallks should be held with Pakistan and India would raise issues regarding investigations into the 2008 Mumbai attacks during the secretary-level talks scheduled for February 25. "The Home Ministry would like, among other issues, for pending issues of investigation of the 26/11 terror attacks to be part of the foreign secretary-level talks," he said. The government was still preparing a list of issues to be raised at the meeting, he added.
Chidambaram also indicated that he would be attending the SAARC home ministers' meeting in Islamabad. "If and when it is held, the present position of the government is that we are attending," he said.
The meeting, scheduled to be held this month, was postponed at Nepal's request.
Asked if he favoured the talks between India and Pakistan despite Islamabad yet to fulfil the demand of dismantling the 'terror infrastructure' on its soil, Chidambaram said it was the government's decision and he was a part of it.
"The government has decided that foreign secretaries of the two countries will meet on February 25 and I'm a part of the government… All of us have decided that the secretaries will meet," he said.
