New Delhi, Jan 21: A day after the US warned Pakistan of the limits to India’s patience in the event of another Mumbai-like attack, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna on Thursday said the government would have to be prepared to meet any eventuality. “Yes, that is a worrying development because having been a victim of an earlier attack, gone through the anguish, the agony, the trauma, I think India certainly will have to be prepared to meet any such eventuality,” he told reporters. Krishna was responding to a question on US Defence Secretary Robert Gates’ remarks on Wednesday that it would be extremely difficult for India to show ‘restraint and statesmanship’ if another 26/11 attack was repeated. “Of course, the defence forces and the home ministry are in close touch and coordination with the external affairs ministry and it will be our endeavour to maintain peace and tranquility within India,” he said.
