"Well, we would like those cases to be expedited, beyond that what can I say. You know what problems we have with Pakistan. We are not satisfied with the pace those cases have been allowed to go forward," Singh said.

Singh was talking to reporters after he paid homage to Mumbai terror attack victims on Thursday at the Taj Hotel where he had addressed an Infosys function. He also laid a wreath at the memorial.

The Prime Minister was asked whether he was satisfied with the way the case against the Mumbai attack suspects is progressing in Pakistan. The Taj Hotel had borne the brunt of the three-day siege of the country's financial capital.

Pakistan-based terror group Laskhar-e-Taiba (LeT) has been blamed for the carnage in November 2008 in which 166 people were killed.

"I sincerely hope and pray that we the nation as a whole will remain united in tackling the menace that terrorism poses for civilised persons, civilised societies," he said.
