It has vowed to work with India to bring those involved to justice. <br><br>In a televised address to Pakistani citizens, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi reiterated that position, saying it is not the time for finger-pointing.<br><br>Mr. Qureshi said the Pakistani government has offered a joint investigating mechanism and a joint commission to New Delhi to help probe the militant assault on Mumbai. He reiterated that Pakistan wants good relations with India. <br><br>The foreign minister told Pakistanis they have no reason to worry because the government and the country's armed forces are united and capable of defending Pakistan. <br><br>Mr. Qureshi did not refer to a statement by his counterpart in India, Pranab Mukherjee, that New Delhi has demanded Islamabad handover about 20 fugitives it believes are hiding in Pakistan. <br><br>The list of men wanted in India reportedly included Dawood Ibrahim, a Mumbai underworld leader, and Maulana Masood Azhar, leader of an outlawed Pakistan-based Islamic group.
