UFA ( Russia ): PM Modi told Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday that China's support to Pakistan over the issue of Mumbai attacks accused Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi was "unacceptable".In a meeting on the side lines of BRICS summit here, the two discussed the issue in detail while talking about counter terrorism, said foreign secretary S Jaishankar .Despite opposition from Modi, China had earlier blocked UN from seeking an explanation over the release of Lakhvi saying that there was no evidence provided by India to merit such an action. Modi emphasized the point in his meeting that many other countries, including all other permanent members of the UN Security Council, believed Lakhvi was a terrorist responsible for the Mumbai attacks which left over 160 people dead.In a meeting that lasted almost 90 minutes, the two leaders also discussed the border issue and the need to maintain peace and tranquility, including the possibility of having more meeting points, said the foreign secretary. While both the special representatives for border talks, NSA Ajit Doval and China's state councillor Yang Jiechi, were present in the meeting, the foreign secretary did not confirm if the two representatives were going to meet separately in Ufa to discuss the issue. Among other things, Modi also sought support from China for India's quest for the membership of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) which controls nuclear commerce?"The issue (Lakhvi) did come up. It was discussed in some detail and? We expect the discussion to continue," said Jaishankar.The meeting otherwise saw the two leaders expressing positive vibes as they agreed that there had been progress in ties since Modi's visit to China in May and that there was new energy , new enthusiasm in ties. They also discussed the possibility of a meeting along the sidelines of the East Asia summit later this year and also support for the upcoming BRICS development bank.The Lakhvi issue came up in the Xi-Modi meeting just ahead of a likely meeting between Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on Friday here, along the sidelines of the SCO summit. Jaishankar did not deny reports that it was India which had approached Pakistan for a meeting between the two leaders even though he sounded a word of caution over the issue of Lakhvi.He did not confirm the meeting but said there was always the possibility that the two leaders would meet. "Sambhawna to hamesha hoti hai," he said.He added though that even in the context of Lakhvi, it was important for Pakistan to acknowledge that there was enough evidence against the Mumbai mastermind and that's why so many countries were supporting India's position.
