Addressing his monthly press conference in New Delhi, he said India has asked Pakistan to allow a team to question some people there suspected to be involved in the 26/11 Mumbai incident, a private news channel reported.

India is awaiting a reply from Pakistan on its request to send a team there to question some suspects in the Mumbai terror attack case before it decides on allowing a commission from Islamabad, Home Minister P Chidambaram said.

"We are awaiting an answer for the question that we have put forth," Chidambaram said.

The Home Minister said in-principle India has agreed to allow a commission from Pakistan to visit New Delhi in connection with the 26/11 investigations.

"We just agreed to allow a commission to come to India to record the evidence of the Investigating Officer, the Magistrate, who recorded the statements, and some doctors, who conducted the post mortem. We are awaiting a reply to our questions," Chidambaram said.
