Qureshi, who is in Kabul accompanying President Asif Ali Zardari on his maiden official visit to Afghanistan, said that Singh's statement on Tuesday about the Mumbai attacks having the backing of “some official agencies” in Pakistan was disappointing.
“In Manmohan Singh, I see a thinking man and an academic.
A statement of that nature coming from such a mature, seasoned statesman is rather disappointing,” he told a news conference in the Afghan capital.
The two countries will have to cooperate at the operational level to get to the bottom of what happened in Mumbai, Qureshi said.
This objective cannot be achieved by closing channels of communication or resorting to accusations, he said.
Qureshi said Indian politicians had “fallen prey to the Mumbai situation” and were indulging in a blame game.
Replying to a question, he said the ISI is an important national institution that has made “tremendous contributions” in the war on terror and this role is being recognised the world over.

It was a thinking man who found it totally disappointing that Pakistan government had NO decency to accept the cold blooded mindless killer caught in India was a Pakistani citizen.Effectively it made Pakistani Government a bunch of liars. How can they even dream of being disppointed? Perhaps they have been caught red handed unlike hundreds of times in the past where they could get away with lies and skirts of China and US.Sadlly Pakistan will reamin centuries away from getting civilised let alone dignified.
