Posted
India has lodged a formal protest with Pakistan over the terrorist attacks in Mumbai that killed at least 170 people and wounded almost 300.
Pakistan's High Commissioner was summoned and handed an official protest against Pakistan's alleged failure to crack down on terrorist groups within its country.
The Indian Government says the terrorist attacks in Mumbai were carried out by elements from Pakistan, and it expects the Pakistani Government to take strong action against those responsible.
Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma says the attacks are a grave setback to the relationship between the two nations.
But the Pakistani Government has denied any direct involvement in the terrorist strike.
Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Youssuf Rasa Gilani is urging calm, and says the blame game should be avoided at all costs.
