SUBJECT: SPECIAL REPORT: MEDIA COVERAGE OF SECRETARY 
RICEQS VISIT TO INDIA, PAKISTAN (CONTINUED) 
 
1. SUMMARY: For the second day today, the focus of the 
Indian media stayed on Secretary RiceQs South Asia visit. 
Her visit to Islamabad and her meetings with the 
Pakistani leadership received extensive play in the print 
and electronic media. The mediaQs interpretation of the 
outcome of her India-Pakistan visits was predictable, at 
places in tune with their political affiliations. With 
notable exceptions, the majority opinion is that 
Secretary RiceQs visit was helpful, timely and 
substantive. End summary. 
 
-- QRICE ASKS PAK TO BAN LET FRONT JAMAAT-UL-DWA 
 
2. THE TIMES OF INDIA reported that the U.S. leadership 
has asked Pakistan to immediately ban Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the 
renamed political wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, and take 
action against Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, the head of the 
organization. This would count as an immediate 
QdeliverableQ by Pakistan following the Mumbai attack, 
the paper said. 
 
3. THE TIMES OF INDIA reported that Secretary made this 
demand during her meeting with President Zardari in light 
of the Qincontrovertible evidence of ISIQs complicity 
shown to her by India. The message was also conveyed by 
the chairman joint chief of staff, Admiral Mike Mullen 
when he met Pakistan army chief Ashfaq Kayani on 
Wednesday, the paper said. 
 
-- QRICE PUTS PAKISTAN ON NOTICE 
 
4. Most media outlets published the Press Trust of India 
(PTI) wire agencyQs account of the SecretaryQs Islamabad 
visit. The report said in a blunt message to Pakistan, 
the U.S. on Thursday asked it to investigate the 
QcircumstancesQ under which Mumbai terror attacks were 
carried out and take the responsibility of dealing with 
non-state actors operating from its territory. 
 
5. Secretary Rice, who held talks with President Zardari 
and PM Yousuf Gilani, said Pakistan must provide Qrobust 
and QeffectiveQ cooperation to India in bringing the 
perpetrators of the Mumbai terror strikes to justice. 
 
QWe talked at length about the importance of Pakistan 
taking its responsibility to deal with those who may use 
Pakistan territory even if they are non-state actors, 
PTI quoted the Secretary as saying at a press conference 
in Islamabad after her meetings with the Pakistani 
leadership. 
 
6. A few newspapers displayed their skepticism about the 
SecretaryQs Islamabad visit by running the same PTI 
report with a different introductory paragraph and 
headline. In its version of the report headlined QRice 
changes Tune in Islamabad,Q the pro-BJP PIONEER daily 
said appearing to change her tune after tough talk on the 
Mumbai attacks, the Secretary said Pakistan Qunderstands 
its responsibilitiesQ to respond to terrorism wherever it 
exists. The normally pro-U.S. INDIAN EXPRESS daily also 
agreed with THE PIONEER, saying in their headline that 
the Secretary had Qlowered her pitchQ in Islamabad. 
 
NEW DELHI 00003068  002 OF 004 
 
 
 
-- QZARDARI PROMISES ACTION 
 
7. THE HINDUQs Islamabad correspondent Nirupama 
Subramanian reported that President Zardari promised 
QstrongQ action against any Pakistani elements found 
involved in the Mumbai attacks after meeting with 
Secretary Rice who asked the government here to act with 
QurgencyQ to bring the perpetrators to book. 
 
-- QAFTER RICE VISIT, MULLEN CALLS ON TOP OFFICIALS 
 
8. THE INDIAN EXPRESS reported that Qafter a high-profile 
visit by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,Q the 
Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike 
Mullen, came to New Delhi and met top military leaders in 
the country and reiterated America's commitment to combat 
terrorism in the region. EXPRESS and several other media 
outlets reported that Admiral Mullen met senior Indian 
civilian and military leaders, including Defense Minister 
A K Antony, National Security Advisor M K Narayanan and 
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sureesh Mehta. 
 
-- QRICE AVOIDS MAURYA, STAYS IN EMBASSY 
 
9. THE INDIAN EXPRESS reported that during her New Delhi 
visit, Secretary Rice stayed at the AmbassadorQs 
residence Roosevelt House and not at the luxurious Maurya 
Sheraton hotel where she would normally stay during her 
visits. In view of the heightened security threat 
perception, Rice was asked to stay in the Roosevelt 
House, which is inside the secure environs of the US 
Embassy, the paper noted. 
 
-- QINDIA HAS PROOF ISI TRAINED MUMBAI ATTACKERS 
 
10. Sources have told the leading NDTV news channel that 
India has proof that the Pakistan intelligence agency ISI 
masterminded the Mumbai attack. Sources said India has 
specific evidence on the ISI's role -- the names of the 
ISI trainers and the names of the places where the 
terrorists were trained. Similar stories appeared in 
several leading newspapers too. 
 
11. Officials told THE HINDU that while India has proof 
of the involvement of ISI, it will not level a public 
accusation because the ensuing tension in bilateral 
relations would play into the hands of those responsible 
for the incidents. The sources said India did not believe 
the civilian government in Pakistan was involved in the 
incidents. Asked about the Pakistani Army chiefQs 
potential role, they told THE HINDU it would be 
surprising if the ISI were able to operate without the 
military leadershipQs knowledge. 
 
-- MIXED EDITORIAL COMMENTARY 
 
12. Editorial commentary on the SecretaryQs visit was 
mixed. THE TIMES OF INDIA said the Secretary Qsent out a 
strong message to PakistanQ during her visit. THE INDIAN 
EXPRESS welcomed the SecretaryQs call for restraint, but 
wondered for how long India can hold on. THE MAIL TODAY, 
 
NEW DELHI 00003068  003 OF 004 
 
 
for the second day, took a cynical view of the visit, 
saying Secretary Rice Qseemed to have done or said 
precious little.Q The pro-BJP PIONEER said the US advises 
restraint, which it does not practice when American 
interests are at stake. Following are some block quotes 
from latest editorial commentary (see Media Reaction 
Report for the complete range of commentary in the 
English and language press today): 
 
13. QFIGHT IT DIFFERENTLY,Q editorial in THE TIMES OF 
INDIA English daily: QU.S. secretary of state Condoleezza 
Rice sent a strong message to Pakistan during her visit 
to New Delhi and Islamabad. Despite a chorus of voices 
demanding Indian military action against Pakistan, such a 
course of action, at this point, is not advisable. It is 
likely that the Pakistani civilian government had little 
to do with the Mumbai attacks. But there is strong 
evidence to suspect that elements within the Pakistani 
army and the ISI were involved in planning the attack. 
The best way forward would be to build an international 
coalition, led by the US, to help Pakistan tackle 
terrorist groups within its border. 
 
14. QALLYQS ALLY?Q editorial in THE INDIAN EXPRESS 
English daily: QUS Secretary of State Condoleezza RiceQs 
objectives in New Delhi were to express solidarity with 
the Indian people after the Mumbai aggression and buy 
time to prevent an escalation of the gathering tension 
with Pakistan into a military conflict. India is 
obviously thankful for the first and rightly circumspect 
on the second. Rice is urging New Delhi to maintain its 
current restraint to avoid unintended consequences from a 
potential retaliation. Rice wants India to allow some 
space for international diplomacy before it exercises its 
uncontested right to retaliate If Washington has found 
it so difficult to get the Pakistan army to crack down on 
the Taliban and Al-Qaeda on its western borders, there is 
little reason for India to believe that Rice and Mullen 
can get the ISI to change its colors on India. 
Nevertheless, it is in IndiaQs own interest to give some 
time and space for US diplomatic efforts in Pakistan. 
 
15. QA RE-ENACTMENT OF THE SAME DRAMA,Q editorial in MAIL 
TODAY English daily: QIf past experience is anything to 
go by, a cynical view can be taken of the diplomatic 
exchanges involving India, Pakistan and the United States 
in the aftermath of the horrific Mumbai attacks. Steps 
like India issuing a demarche to Pakistan demanding that 
Pakistan act against the perpetrators of the mayhem and 
the US sending across high- level officials to assure 
India of its cooperation in pressuring Pakistan to take 
action against such elements are all measures we have had 
a taste of in the past. These, unfortunately, have 
delivered little in terms of a lasting change in the 
situation on the ground.  US Secretary of State 
Condoleezza RiceQs visit to New Delhi on Wednesday seemed 
a re- enactment of this old script. Besides mouthing 
platitudes and conveying to India that the US will talk 
tough with Pakistan, she seemed to have done or said 
precious little. 
 
16. QTELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH; PUNISH PAKISTANQ editorial 
 
NEW DELHI 00003068  004 OF 004 
 
 
in pro-BJP THE PIONEER: QThereQs something nauseating 
about the manner in which the UPA Government has been 
petitioning the Government of Pakistan in the hope that 
Islamabad will do for New Delhi what the latter should do 
for India. Zardari, after all, has to maintain 
tradition; much as he may wish to, he cannot entirely 
disassociate himself from the political legacy he has 
inherited. It is no secret that when push comes to 
shove, the US will advise QrestraintQ, which, of course, 
it does not practice when American interests are at 
stake. Then why plod along a path that leads to nowhere?
