But it seems the Indian officials are not interest in a fair and realistic probe but just to subdue Pakistan by hook and crook. This shows that the Mumbai attack has been staged by the US and Indian intelligence to make Pakistan bow to India like it did in case of the US in the wake of the 9/11. However, it is not possible for the government because Pakistani people are already averse to the cooperation with the US, hence they would not allow the rulers to turn the country into an Indian colony.
