"I have checked myself. His (Ajmal Amir Iman alias Ajmal Kasab) house and village has been cordoned off by the security agencies. His parents are not allowed to meet anybody. I don't undertand why it has been done," Shraif, who hails from Punjab, said in an interview to ‘Geo News’ channel.
"The people and media should be allowed to meet Iman's parents so that the truth could come out in the open," he said, adding that "We need some kind of introspection."
Zardari, who earlier acknowledged that the perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage could be 'non-state' actors from Pakistan, has now said there is still no "real evidence" that the terrorists who attacked Mumbai came from Pakistan.
"Have you seen any evidence to that effect. I have definitely not seen any real evidence to that effect," Zardari told BBC in an interview earlier this week.
Pakistani security agencies and local officials in Faridkot have launched a cover-up since India made it public that Kasab belonged to the village in Punjab province and his father acknowledged to a Pakistani newspaper that the gunman captured in India was his son.
Sharif also slammed President Zardari's rule, saying the functioning of the current Pakistan People's Party-led government is making Pakistan look like a "failed state". Pakistan presents the picture of a failed and ungovernable state due to the absence of the government's writ and the country urgently needs a new roadmap to pull it out of the problems it is currently facing, he said.
Kasab has told Indian investigators that he belongs to Faridkot village of Okara district in Pakistan's Punjab province and that he was trained by the Lashker-e-Taiba to carry out the attacks. Iman's father Amir Kasab too had admitted that the gunman in pictures beamed by the world media is his son.
Sharif said if Iman was not involved in the Mumbai attacks, why was Faridkot village being cordoned off by security agencies and the media prevented from going there.
If Iman was "involved in any way, despite that his parents should be allowed to speak out and say the boy has been (away from home) for three or four months or one or two years and we are also very worried about him", Sharif said.
He also asked why people and journalists were being barred from meeting Iman's parents and other residents of Faridkot.
Pakistani security agencies and local officials in Faridkot have launched an apparent cover-up operation since Indian investigators revealed he belonged to the village.
Iman's parents have reportedly been shifted from the village and local officials have claimed no youth named Ajmal Kasab had lived in Faridkot.

happy Makar Sankranti.Mumbai 2k8 lives ignominiously on.for republic day,a decision should be made to stoptourism and trade with the terrorist state.otherwise kolkata,delhi,mumbai and the kashmiripandits will feel more the hard way.And more tajandoberoi and jews will fall.
I am sure the main reason behind the assasination of Mme. Bhutto is for the Guy Zardari to become the President and since he is in power there can be no investigation to prove it. No wonder he is time and again asking for Kasab's evidence. Mr. Sharif you know you were done in by some dirty trick which is the assasination leading for a sympathy vote.
Shariff is the first politician from Pakistan who has shown enough courage to pu blickly admit the truth about the involvement of a Pakistani natinal in terrorist activity on Indian soil and he deserves all the praise nor only from India but from the entire world. Zaradari must also show political maturity and admit that anti-inaidnn activity is going on in Pakistan and express sincere regrets for the same and declare his firm resolution to punish all those involved and also to take strict preventive measures for putting a stop to such anti-indian activities in future on Pakisani soil.
no difference between politicians of india and pakistan....they both belong to the same catagory of self promotion and selfishness! thats why our countries suffere from such terrorist attacks and development of the country takes a back seat.
This indicates how politicians are, weather in India, pakisthan or any where. In India antulay is charging RSS over this. When in India People like antulay, shahabuddin are doubtful, then why Outsiders like Zardari and other pakisthani people should agree .
Thanks to Mr. Kasab, who somehow got caught; and has revealed his name, parents identity etc. Still all such things are blatantly denied by Pakistan; we should not be surprised that all such unlawful outfits shall operate in one or other names in Pakistan. If these elements do not attack other nations; and target only India; then we must be prepared to face such situations. India shall be left alone. Maximum it can use diplomacy and this shall give results when all of us who live right shall die. Rather India should focus on her; take all those measures which make next to impossible for such rogue elements to enter our country. This is greatest challenge to every Indian; state and national government. We shall be committed to protect our boundaries; and no compromise with security. A commom man, like me, still think that our borders are really not sealed full proof and such "rogue" " state or non state actors" may surface again with the help of holes / gaps still in our system.
you guys are reading too much. Instead of wasting time do something good for yourself and for your family. These neta and their dirty politics will remain same for ever till we bring good people as our leaders.
New word in English Dictionary - zardarism. Meaning - one who doubts the obvious truth. So, if you have any doubt that the sun rises in the East, you are following zardarism, and you are zardaric.
At last, a Pakistan leader spoke something of truth. Though he seems to defend the terror action. But let us not forget he responded to Vajpeyees friendship bid and Musharraf demolished everything. If Musharraf had control his anti-india rage and an itch to shame India militarily, Pakistan would not have been victim of Islamic terror which is now seeping thru to India with the help of some minority groups under deiffent pretext of oppression.
Nawaz Sharif or Zardari are ruthless, self-centred politicians. They lack political acumen but ruling Pak in the garb of saviours. Its high time India acts wisely and let not a 26/11 happen once again in our soil and avoid becoming a laughing stock in the eyes of the world community. Better shred off all politic barriers and come up and stand for a united cause.
Zardari exposed, though he talks sweet.Truth will prevail over politics in this crisis.
When will India learn not to trust Pakistan? First the BJP government tried to have friendly relations with Pakistan, then Kargil happened. Now the congress party made the same mistake and we can all see what happened in Mumbai. We have to acknowledge the fact that the Pakistanis hate us and it does not matter whether its a Musharraf or a Zardari or any Tom Dick or Harry.
Zardari will find the evidence as soon as he gets the ten percent he is used to pocketing. Ten percent of what, you may ask. Zardari is so cheap that he will accept ten percent of anything - even night soil!!!
Please dont read too much into this. Sharif is a political opponent of Zardari and he made that statement just to politiclly upset him. There is nothing more to this. Overall with respect to India both Sharif and Zardari are the same
JANAAB, DO YOU MEAN KASAB IS NOT PAKISTANI ? EVEN AFTER HE AND HIS FATHER SAY SO ?
u can now expect zardari to ask.. "where is the proof that nawaaz sharif said this.. how do u know that the person shown on tv is him... what is geo tv??? heck whts a tv??"
Can or will the Govt of India demand blood samples from the Parents for DNA testing ?
It is obvious to the world that the president of Pakistan is a lier. Therefore no serious talks can proceed in this atmosphere of blatant lying. India should immeditely suspend CBM's and all trade so as to let them realise that there is a cost to terrorism and insicerity. Let Pakistan import everything from Dubai and pay twice the price and exhaust all its foreign reserves. So it will have less money for the army.
Mr Nawaz Sharif say's he is 100% certain that Kasab came from Faridkot, Pakistan and he is a pakistani citizen.President of Pakistan Zardari says,"HE IS 10% CERTAIN THAT KASAB NEVER CAME FROM PAKISTAN."No wonder he cannot decide who killed his wife Bhutto, a pakistani citizen or a non state actor.Oh! these comedians, calling themselves savior of Pakistan, in fact they are driving the country to complete disintegration.
Pakistan was failed state, so was Jinnah! They have nothing but hatred towards Indians in their blood and they continue to lie to the people all over world. It's all due to Indian political weakness. Had they took firm action on Pakistan in 1971 war, India would not have faced POK and terror training camps.Congress is the culprit, as it failed to control the menace neither in J
He is a khandani pervert. After all his spouse hid Nuclear Blue/white prints at unspeakable places in her garments to take them to Korea.Why do we consider such behaviour as a NEWS item?.
Pakistan Prseident expects the live coverage of pakistanis leaving from lahore to attack india or killed terrorsits need to wake up and tell him that we came from Pak. So that could be real evident. Because he has seen his wife got killed by terrorist in the TV and understood that. Mr.President please realise !
It is a pity that a person who is the president of a nation resorts to lie in such matters. How such a person can be relied upon to keep his word about cooperation in combating terrorism? President Zardari has lost his credibility and reduced Pakistan to a laughing stock.
Iam surprised to see this news, first time some one from pakistan acepts this, that too a person of nawaz sharif stature. This is what it sounds like after reading the heading of the news. But when i gone through the complete article, i haven't found this any where, nawaz shrief unequivocally gives the satement that the culcripts were from pakitan, This is dillusion created by media to increase the click rate. Also i checked other reputed international news agencies. But i was not able to find any thing of this sort. Shame upon media for creating fallacy and distorting the news with malafide intention. These guys can do anything to match targeted performance. A BIG SHAME
what is pakistan trying to prove? even after the world has come to know that ajmal is pakistani they are trying to prove such nonsense. i wonder who is so stupid enough to believe in such trash. fine let us see the fools of modern world those who are governing the advanced countries.
Soon sp, rjd and left will be visiting Kasab in jail and offer him an election ticket.most likely the italian lady has already visitied him in jail. Wait and watch, he will be made a national icon by these sickos and mad Indian media.
