Sanjay Raut accuses Pakistan for attacks in Pathankot
At least two gunmen and a guard were killed in an attack on an Indian Air Force base on Saturday near the border with Pakistan, officials said, in an apparent challenge to attempts to revive a dialogue between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

Pakistan on Saturday condemned the terrorist attack on an Indian Air Force base in Pathankot in Indian Punjab. “They could not reach near the technical area of the air force station where IAF aircraft and other assets are located”, a Punjab Police official stationed near the IAF station told IANS.
Rajnath Singh statement came after four terrorists were killed in an assault on the Panthankot aviation based air forces base in Punjab early Saturday. “However, the combing operation continues”, Dhillon said.
It should be mentioned here that Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi had visited Pakistan around a week ago.
An alarm had been sounded about today’s attack yesterday after Superintendent of Police Salwinder Singh and his two associates were abducted and thrashed by 4-5 suspected Pakistani terrorists in army uniform before being dumped some distance away.
No group has claimed responsibility for the action.
Fresh gunfire was again heard at the base at around 0545 GMT as police combed the installation looking for militants still hiding out in buildings, television channels reported.
“These kinds of attacks are nothing new and have generally been the outcome of the dispute of India and Pakistan over Kashmir”, said Noor Ahmed Baba, a political scientist at Central University in Indian Kashmir’s capital, Srinagar.
Security experts say tight security along the disputed frontier through Kashmir has pushed the focus of militant activity south towards softer targets in India’s Punjab state.
India accuses Pakistan of arming and training Kashmir’s insurgents, a charge Islamabad denies.

He added that there had been no damage to fighter planes at the base and that security forces were still trying to identify the attackers.
