Pak PM pledges action on anti-India groups

8220;We don8217;t want our soil used against any country and neither would we allow somebody else8217;s soil to be used against Pakistan,8221; Gilani told a roundtable with reporters on a visit to Washington.

Gilani said that Pakistan has already banned some extremist groups and frozen their bank accounts.

He said that Pakistan was seeking more evidence from India against Lashkar-e-Toiba and that the courts were examining the group,which is suspected in the 2008 siege of Mumbai that left 166 people dead.

8220;If we have more effective evidence,certainly they will be brought to justice,8221; Gilani said.

Gilani and Singh are both in Washington for a major summit on improving nuclear security.

Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said that Singh in his meeting with Obama urged him to put pressure on Pakistan to rein in Lashkar-e-Toiba,which means the 8220;Army of the Pure8221; and is virulently opposed to India.
