Ties may snap: Chidambaram

London: India may break off business, transport and tourist links with Pakistan if it fails to help to investigate the Mumbai attacks, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram has warned.

“There are many, many links between India and Pakistan, and if Pakistan does not cooperate and does not help to bring the perpetrators to heel, those ties will become weaker and weaker and one day snap,” he told The Times . “Why would we entertain Pakistani business people? Why would we entertain tourists in India? Why would we send tourists there?” — PTI
