Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said that India and Pakistan were not at war and that both countries would have to use all possible mechanisms during negotiations on fighting terrorism.
"It is a trial. We have to experiment... we have to talk as we are not going to war with Pakistan," he said while interacting with media persons soon after three
new ministers were inducted in his Cabinet.
Dr Singh also maintained that investigators of the Mumbai train blasts had 'enough evidence' in their possession. His comments assume significance especially after National Security Advisor M K Narayanan stated in an interview with a television channel that though there was evidence of the Pakistan's involvement, it was not enough to be called credible.
Meanwhile, Pranab Mukherjee, who has been appointed as the country's new external affairs minister, said that the US government had assured the India that it will ensure that the nuclear deal goes through. He said that India will share the evidence collected in the Mumbai serial blasts and
see how Pakistan reacts.
