Karachi/Bangalore, Sep 5 - Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Saturday that delay in resuming India-Pakistan talks will only help terrorists in achieving their nefarious designs.
Pakistan wants equity-based relations with India and resumption of the composite dialogue at the earliest, he said, while speaking to reporters in Karachi after inaugurating a housing scheme for low income people.
India had frozen the composite dialogue process in the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that New Delhi has blamed on elements operating from Pakistan.
New Delhi has consistently maintained that the talks could resume only after Islamabad took tangible action against the perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage that claimed the lives of over 170 people, including 26 foreigners.
India has also said it has provided Pakistan with adequate evidence of the involvement of its nationals in the Nov 26-29, 2008 attacks that held the city to ransom for over 60 hours.
India reiterated this Saturday, with External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna saying Pakistan had been given 'enough proof' to prosecute Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders for masterminding the Mumbai terror attacks.
