Malik was called by Joint Secretary (Pakistan) in the MEA TCA Raghavan who issued a demarche to him on the Mumbai strikes which is suspected to have been carried out by "elements" based in Pakistan, sources said.

Investigations into the three-day Mumbai terror strikes have shown that the plan to carry out the attacks was hatched in Pakistan and the perpetrators of the ghastly act came from Karachi by ships and boats.

Islamabad has been in a denial mode but India says it has hard evidence to show Pakistani link.
