Krishna on Pillai: 'Whatever was to be said has been said'

July 16, 2010 15:26 IST

As Pakistan took exception to Home Secretary G K Pillai's recent remarks on Inter Services Intelligence's role in Mumbai attacks, India on Friday said that there is no acrimony between the two sides on the issue.

"Whatever was to be said has been said," Krishna, who was in Pakistan on a three-day visit, told mediapersons.

He was responding to a question on Pillai's remarks two days ago that Pakistani-American terror suspect David Headley had revealed to interrogators that ISI and Jamat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed had played a "much more significant role" in planning and executing the Mumbai terror attacks.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who held talks with Krishna on Thursday, took exception to Pillai's remarks.

"There is no acrimony between the two sides," Krishna said as he wrapped up his visit. "Acrimony was among those who had been asking (such) questions," he added.
