Pakistani Media reported Mr. Gilani as having said that to visiting US Defence Minister Mr. Robert Gates that Pakistan is everyday facing Mumbai kind of attacks and is not able to protect its own citizens.
Apparently Mr. Gilani told the American Leader that in such a situation how can Pakistan guarantee that it can prevent a terror attack on India.

India Reacts
However, his statement has invoked sharp response from India's External Affairs Ministry.
The official spokesman of the India's foreign ministry said in a statement that by making such statements, Pakistan cannot absolve itself of its responsibility.
It further said that India has regularly been asking Pakistan to take firm action against the persons responsible for 26/11 attack and dismantle the terror infrastructure in that country.
Do you think that in today's highly fractured and competitive politics the Parliament will, in near future, be able to function properly and constructively?
