The Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday condemned the audacious terror attack at Pathankot Air Force Station in Punjab.
As of now, four terrorists have been killed and two Air Force jawans martyred in the attack on the Pathankot air base.
“From past experience I’m sure it emerge that these militants crossed over within the last few hours with the airbase as a specific target”, his another tweet said.
“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.
The entire state of Punjab is on high alert and security has been tightened across Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir. An air force worker has also been killed and six security officers have been injured.
TV footage showed armed guards outside the base, which is located 50 km (30 miles) from the border with Pakistan, and police stepped up vehicle checks in the area.
Today’s attack came just five months after a group of terrorists, dressed in military fatigues, stormed into the Dinanagar police station in Gurdaspur district of Punjab early in the morning of July 27, 2015, in which nine people, including three assailants, three civilians and three policemen, were killed.
Besides the IAF base in Pathankot, which was attacked by suspected Pakistani terrorists, Punjab has frontline IAF bases in Adampur (near Jalandhar), Halwara (near Ludhiana) and Bathinda and substantial army presence at various places, including Jalandhar (11 Corps), Pathankot, Amritsar, Bathinda (10 Corps) and Patiala (1st Armoured Division).
The locals set the effigy on fire and held Pakistan responsible for continued terror attacks in Punjab even as they demanded that stern action be taken against it.
