Islamabad: Despite New Delhi's rejection that it was responsible for postponement of the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) Summit, Pakistan on December 10 maintained that it put off the January meet because of "Indian attitude".

"The Indian attitude has resulted in postponement of the meet for an indefinite period," Information Minister Sheikh Rashid said after the first Cabinet meeting of the Mir Zafarafullah Khan Jamali government.

Pakistan was expecting a positive response from Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee but "regrettably" he refused, Rashid told reporters.

He, however, said that Pakistan hoped that the Indian government would ensure its participation as and when a decision was taken to hold the summit in Islamabad.

Replying to a question, Rashid also said that the Jamali government will fulfil Pakistan's International commitments to fight against terrorism. "We will adhere to our commitment with the International community against terrorism."
