When Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari visits India this Sunday, prime minister Manmohan Singh is likely to stress to him the need to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 terror attacks to justice — including Hafiz Saeed, for whom the US has announced a bounty of $10 million.

“On every occasion and opportunity with Pakistan and the US, we reiterate the need to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 to justice,” an official source said on Wednesday. The source, however, said Hafiz Saeed did not figure in the protocol discussions Indian officials had with the Pakistanis on Wednesday morning.

Sources said Zardari would be accompanied by a 40-member delegation, which will include, other than his family members, a minister (reports claim it is interior minister Rehman Malik), senior officers of the President, senior protocol and two media members.

Manmohan Singh is expected to host a lunch for Zardari, which will be preceded by a meeting between the two.

“This is a private visit of President Zardari. We have said that we will make all arrangements for the private visit. The lunch will be hosted in Delhi at 7, RCR (PM’s residence). The prime minister did convey a request if he could have lunch with President Zardari. All due courtesies of a Head of State will be extended to a Head of State,” a source said.

Zardari is expected to leave for Jaipur at 2 pm and from there on he will travel to Ajmer to pay obeisance at the dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. He is expected to fly back the same night.

Asked if home minister Chidambaram will be part of the Indian delegation, official sources said, “We are still in discussions. We need to factor this in our decision making. We are working on our delegation. We are trying to finalise it.” The source added they had received details about the Pakistani delegation only around 2 pm on Wednesday, so now they will finalise the Indian delegation.

Meanwhile, the principal opposition party, BJP said it expects the prime minister to categorically convey to the Pakistan President that no “normal dialogue” is possible between the two countries till it stops sponsoring terrorism against India.

“We expect the prime minister to convey in very clear, categorical and unequivocal terms and as firmly as possible to Mr Zardari that no normal dialogue between India and Pakistan is possible unless Pakistan stops- very clearly- sponsored terrorism against India,” BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
