Pakistan will not discuss India's list of most wanted persons, including Dawood Ibrahim, under the proposed joint institutional mechanism on anti-terrorism, Pakistan High Commissioner to India Aziz Ahmed Khan has said.

In an interview to CNN-IBN, Khan said Indian requests for intelligence on terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim, Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar and Lashkar-e-Tayiba head Hafeez Mohammed Sayeed would "not be entertained via this mechanism", according to a release by the news channel.

However, he said the anti-terror mechanism could work well "if both sides wanted it to work", the release said.

The decision to set up the mechanism was the most significant outcome of the meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf in Havana last week.
