The Pakistani judicial commission cancelled its visit to India, citing technical and procedural issues as reason, Press Trust of India reported on Tuesday.

The commission was to visit India on September 7 to cross-examine witnesses of the Mumbai terror attacks.



Earlier, the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) had ordered the interior ministry on August16 to send a judicial commission to India for the interrogation of witnesses in the Mumbai attacks case.

Indian authorities had given a written consent to their Pakistani counterparts to visit India and cross-examine the witnesses.

The court had directed the ministry and the National Crisis and Management Cell (NCMC) director general to make arrangements to send the commission to India.

@Ruby:

"Appreciate the seriousness with which Pakistan sees the 26/11 attacks"

Why India did not allow the visiting Pakistani judicial commission to cross question the witnesses the first time? Now after hanging Ajmal Kassab, the real witness gone, what is the point in allowing this now? What India wanted to hide?
