Islamabad, January 21: Pakistan judicial commission will visit India during February 3 to 6 to interview officials who probe Mumbai attack, Interior Minister Rahman Malik said today. According to official sources, the dates for the visit was announced during Malik’s meeting with Indian High Commissioner Sharat Sabharwal. Earlier, India Nov 5 welcomed Pakistan’s decision to send the judicial commission.The commission is expected to record the statements of Mumbai Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate R.V. Sawant Waghule and investigating officer Ramesh Mahale, who had recorded the confessional statement of Ajmal Amir Kasab, convicted of the terror attack. Kasab is the lone surviving terrorist caught alive during the 26/11 attacks and he has already been convicted in the case by an Indian court. Islamabad has contended that the charges against seven LeT militants, including its ‘operation commander’ Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who are currently lodged in a Pakistani jail, were based on Kasab’s statement and hence the magistrate and the investigating officer’s statements were necessary to furnish before the anti-terror court.
