The Indian Home Minister, L K Advani, is due to make a statement on Tuesday about last week's attack on the Indian parliamentary complex.
Published:
18 December 2001 y., Tuesday
He is expected to reiterate his warning that Pakistan should close down two militant groups India says were behind the attack, which led to the deaths of 13 people. The government is also expected to give top priority to its controversial anti-terrorism bill.
This will be the first opportunity for the Indian parliament to discuss the attack at length. Mr Advani is likely to be centre-stage for the government. He has the reputation of taking a hard line when it comes to what India describes as terrorist attacks.
He is expected to repeat the government's warning of dire consequences if Islamabad does not close down the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Toiba militant groups.
Delhi says these two groups are based in Pakistan and received training and support from the country's intelligence service. Islamabad denies this and says that India has provided no evidence to support its allegations.
So far Delhi has not indicated exactly what action it will take if Pakistan does not comply with its demands.
