No U-turn by US on direct access to Headley, says PC

By The Assam Tribune

LONDON, March 24 (PTI): Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has said that there was no confusion over the issue of Indian investigators getting direct access to Pakistani-American LeT operative David Coleman Headley or not.

"No, I don't think so," Chidambaram shot back when asked whether there was a U-turn by the US after its envoy in New Delhi Timothy J Roemer said that "no decision on direct access for India to David Headley has been made."

"...If you reflect more carefully that sentence (of Roemer) no way (it) contradicts what the US Attorney (Eric Holder) has told me," Chidambaram, who is here on an official visit, told a TV news channel.

Last night Home Secretary GK Pillai said that India was not taking cognisance of Roemer's remarks and would be sending its investigators to the US at the earliest.
