ISLAMABAD: India has continuously failed to share information on the Mumbai attacks with Pakistan and Islamabad will not listen to any further allegations of its involvement in the incident, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Wednesday, adding that Iran had been informed that Jundullah leader Abdul Malik Reigi was in Afghanistan.

"We have been continuously accused [of involvement in the Mumbai attacks by India] ... enough is enough," he told journalists. He warned India against issuing threats to Pakistan, adding nobody should cast doubt over Pakistan's commitment to fight terrorism. He asked India to share the intelligence that had prompted the neighbouring country's authorities to claim that an incident similar to the Mumbai attacks could be repeated in future. He said if India refused to share information with Pakistan, Islamabad would refuse to listen to any more allegations implicating it in the attacks. He said Pakistan had not yet received India's seventh dossier on the Mumbai attacks.

"India should not perceive our offer for negotiations as a sign of weakness ... we can engage in threatening rhetoric just as well, or even better, than India. Pakistan is not a weak country and is capable of responding (to India)," he told journalists. Replying to a question on Indian Interior Minister P Chidambaram's claims that Pakistan was incapable of tackling issues related to terrorism, he said India should bring order "to its own house" before blaming Pakistan. He said India had yet to conclude investigations into the assassination of Rajiv Ghandi and the Samjhota Express tragedy.

Proof: To questions, the interior minister claimed Pakistan was aware of Indian involvement in Balochistan. "We have proof ... I ask my Indian counterpart to come to Pakistan so that I can share it with him," he said. He said Islamabad would not take dictation from anyone over Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed's case. However, he added, if Saeed were found guilty during investigations into the Mumbai attacks, the government would take action against him.

Referring to the suicide attack in the Sistan-Baluchestan province of Iran, Malik categorically denied that Jundullah chief Abdul Malik Reigi was in Pakistan, adding the militant chief was in Afghanistan. He said Islamabad had forwarded knowledge of his whereabouts to Iran. Condemning the incident in Iran, he said Pakistan had already repatriated Reigi's brother to Iran and would not hesitate to repatriate Reigi if he were on its soil. He said the regional powers should realise that there would be no security in the area if Pakistan were facing any instability. Referring to US and NATO forces vacating checkposts on the Afghan border, he said the military leadership was in touch with its US counterpart on the issue. He also reiterated the Interior Ministry's plans to introduce a community police system, a private TV channel reported.
