“Noted with satisfaction the decision-making & its execution, the considerations that went into our tactical response”, PMO tweeted after his visit to the airbase. Lauded bravery & determination of our men and women on the ground. “They are our pride”, PM @narendramodi stated.
Six heavily armed militants in military uniform had entered the Pathankot Air Force base early morning on 2nd January after killing two security personnel.
All the terrorist were killed during a counter-operation by Indian forces that lasted for about three days in which seven security personnel were killed.
Secretary Kerry extended full support and cooperation to the prime minister in finding out the truth on the Pathankot terror incident.
Based on the given evidence, India wants to increase pressure on Pakistan so that they act against the top brass of JeM which is believed to be behind the attack.
Pakistan must use its intelligence network to find out who in this country were spoken to over telephone by the terrorists who attacked an Indian Air Force base in Punjab, a newspaper said on Sunday.
The attack in Pathankot, where India keeps fighter jets and attack helicopters, came just a week after Modi made an unscheduled visit to Pakistan to meet Sharif, a demonstration of the leaders’ commitment to speeding up a rapprochement after months of bilateral tension.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has said communication between India and Pakistan is a “hopeful sign” that the two countries will be able to resolve their concerns bilaterally despite the terror attack in Pathankot.
Sharif has ordered a probe into the leads provided by India about the Pathankot airbase attack.
“No terrorist organisation will be allowed to derail the dialogue process between Pakistan and India”, Asif was quoted as saying by the Radio Pakistan.
Following the incident, the United Jihad Council, a conglomerate of pro-Pakistan groups and based in Pakistan-Administrated Kashmir, claimed responsibility for the attack. Six terrorists, suspected to be from Pakistan, were killed during the gunfight that began on January 2.
