Islamabad: Pakistan's spy agency has given India information about the Mumbai attacks, the prime minister said Friday, while denying there is a rift between him and the president.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, "had given feedback and information sharing that has been passed on to India".
On Wednesday, Gilani fired the national security adviser hours after the official told reporters the sole surviving Mumbai attacker was a Pakistani citizen.
According to media reports, President Asif Ali Zardari was not informed of the decision, intensifying earlier media speculation of a split between the country's top two leaders.
"There is no misunderstanding," Gilani insisted on Friday while denying reports that Zardari had expressed displeasure with the decision.
A spokesman for Zardari said Thursday that the two were "on the same page" and it was Gilani's prerogative to fire the security adviser.
