NEW DELHI, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Sunday it was not clear if Pakistan's president was in control of the army and said Pakistan's objectives in Afghanistan were not necessarily those of the United States. Singh said he was worried about Pakistan's nuclear arsenal falling into the wrong hands and said he was disturbed that Islamabad had not brought to justice the perpetrators of last year's Mumbai attacks. Singh and U.S. President Barack Obama meet this week in the United States to discuss regional issues, climate change and the completion of a landmark nuclear deal [ID:n20420095]. The U.S. strategy for Afghanistan has been criticised as ignoring the concerns of regional countries such as India. "It is not clear if the President (Asif Ali Zardari) is in charge of the army," Singh told CNN International television in an interview to coincide with his visit to the United States. "Pakistan's objectives in Afghanistan are not necessarily in harmony with American objectives. Having said that, who am I to judge whether the Pakistan government and the Pakistan army is moving to remove the Afghan Taliban?" Singh said. Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947. India put its troops along the border with Pakistan on high alert after at least 166 people were killed in Mumbai last November in attacks New Delhi blames on Pakistan. It also put peace talks on hold. "Pakistan has not done enough with regard to pursuing the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks," Singh said, adding New Delhi had sent enough evidence without any response. "An active Pakistan would not allow this," Singh said.
