<b>Mumbai attacks to hurt Indo-Pak ties : Pranab Mukherjee</b>
<b>NEW DELHI : Angered by terror strikes in Mumbai, India today bluntly told Pakistan that its intention to take a "leap" in bilateral relations would be "impossible" if "outrages" like the attacks in the financial capital do not stop.
External Affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee told his visiting Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi that he hoped Islamabad would take "immediate action" with regard to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.</b>
Qureshi received the call from Mukherjee in the midst of a press conference he was addressing at the Indian Women Press Corps here.
The External Affairs minister said while the government of Pakistan has said that it wants a leap forward in relations between the two countries, "outrages like the attack on our embassy in Kabul and now the attack on Mumbai are intended to make it impossible."
Mukherjee said "some elements" in Pakistan were responsible for the terror strikes in Mumbai in which over 150 people were killed and several hundreds injured.
"The groups responsible and their supporters, are therefore, also acting against the direct interests of the government of Pakistan," Mukherjee told Qureshi.
He said India expected Pakistan to honour its solemn commitments not to permit the use of its territory for terrorism against India.
<b>Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>asked his Pakistan counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani to send ISI chief Shuja Pasha "to cooperate in the investigations of the Mumbai attack and for sharing certain information".</span>
Pasha is expected to visit India soon.</b>
I think this just about takes the cake! It is time that India suspended <b>ALL TIES with Terroristan.</b>
