Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today demanded a thorough investigation into the presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan for several years, but ruled out a US-type operation by India to eliminate Pak-based terrorists wanted by it.
"One needs to go for a thorough investigation into the presence of Osama bin Laden for such a long time on the soil of Abbottabad," he said at a joint press conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai after their talks.
The killing of bin Laden was a "unique moment" in the history of the region, said the Prime Minister, who arrived here earlier on a two-day visit amidst highest levels of security.
Asked if India would adopt the type of operation that the US carried out to eliminate the al-Qaeda chief, in order to get Pak-based terrorists wanted by it, Singh began by saying "these are sensitive issues and we don't discuss strategies on terror in press conferences".
