India has not yet received any official response from Pakistan on the dossier it provided on the Mumbai terrorist attacks, Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said Tuesday.

"The fact of the matter is that after they (Pakistan) received material from us, we have not received any official communication about the progress of investigations conducted by them," Mukherjee was quoted as saying by PTI news agency.

India claims the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group was behind the November attacks in Mumbai in which more than 170 people were killed.

India's Defence Minister AK Antony called on the international community to rein in terrorist acts emanating from Pakistan, reported dpa.

"This Frankenstein is now a threat to democracy, stability and peace in Afghanistan and Pakistan itself. The international community needs to act decisively and in concert to get rid of this scourge," Antony said in a speech to the Delhi-based Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.

"Pakistan has become the international epicentre of terrorism," Antony said.
