26/11 Thimphu, July 24 Home Minister P Chidambaram made the request to his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik when they met here last night on the sidelines of the SAARC Interior Ministers meeting. “The Indian Home Minister referred to the requests made by the Home Ministry some of which were pending with Pakistan since their last meeting,” a joint statement issued today said. Though the statement did not specify what the requests were, it said they related to some of those pending with the Pakistani Interior Ministry. This was apparently in reference to India’s request for voice samples of the seven accused Pakistan has arrested in connection with the 26/11 attacks, including LeT’s operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. India has been demanding voice samples of the accused who were giving instructions to the 10 terrorists during the November 2008 attack. Malik also “sought an early response” to some of the queries by his ministry in the same context. “The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere. The two ministers discussed matters of mutual interest and concerns,” the statement said. Malik said the Pakistan Interior Ministry was working for an early visit of a Judicial Commission from Pakistan. — PTI Trial adjourned Islamabad: A Pakistani anti-terror court conducting the trial of LeT’s Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six others charged with involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks has adjourned the proceedings till August 10 after a key defence lawyer informed the judge that he was unwell. — PTI
