After giving an assurance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Pakistan would expedite the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack trial, Pakistan National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz said today said that the country needs more evidence from India.


Addressing a press conference on the meeting between the two Prime Ministers along the sidelines of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Ufa, Russia, Aziz said, "We need more evidence on Mumbai attack trial."


The remarks also come a day after the prosecution team chief said the Pakistan government will not file a fresh petition in court seeking 26/11 terror attack mastermind and Lashkar-e-Toiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi's voice sample.


Firm on its demand to have Kashmir on agenda to initiate a dialogue between the two countries, Aziz said, "No discussion will take place with India if Kashmir will not be discussed. We will stay firm on all our primary issues."


Aziz also made it clear that the meeting between the two leaders was informal and none of the agreements were binding.


Aziz said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has also requested for more information in the 2007 Samjhauta Express blast case in which over 60 people were killed.
