Excerpt: India should not have high expectations from Pakistan in investigating and prosecuting the 26/11 case," says rediff.com columnist and renowned expert on terrorism Bahukutumbi Raman. His new book Mumbai 26/11: A Day of Infamy has been released a couple of weeks before the first anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks. When asked if some Indian critics have been expecting unpractical results from Pakistan, Raman said, "In view of domestic problems that Pakistan is facing we should see what is possible and what is not possible for Pakistan in tackling the 26/11 case." "My reading is that President Asif Ali Zardari and Interior Minister Rehman Malik would want to cooperate more with India, firstly, because they are worried by the growing menace of the Punjabi Taliban, of which the Lashkar-e-Tayiba (blamed for the 26/11 attacks) is a part and, secondly, because they are sensitive to US concerns," he said. "But Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and Inter Services Intelligence chief Major General Ahmad Shuja Pasha are not in favour of cooperating with India. They do not view the menace of the Punjabi Taliban with the same seriousness as Zardari. Zardari is politically weak. He would have been eased out by now by Kayani and Gilani, but for the fact that he enjoys the strong backing of the US. In view of this scenario, we should not have high expectations from Pakistan," he added. [end of excerpt]
