As the Indian Army’s anti-terror operation in Pathankot continued for a third night on Monday, India, undeterred by the attack, plans to hold the Foreign Secretary (FS)-level talks with Pakistan in Islamabad on January 15.
Speaking in Radio Pakistan’s Current Affairs’ program, he said, “We are expecting a positive attitude from Indian side after the Pathankot incident. He should have taken opposition parties into confidence before taking such a step”, Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said when asked about Nawaz Sharif calling up Prime Minister Modi to give assurance that they would act against those responsible for Pathankot attack.
“We urge all the countries in the region to work together to disrupt and dismantle terrorist networks and to bring to justice the perpetrators of this particular attack”.
Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making an unscheduled visit to Pkaistan to meet his Pakistan counterpart Nawaz Sharif, the Congress Party on Wednesday said that the former trusts “those on the other side of the border” more than his ministers. “They’ve said themselves and our expectation is that they’ll live up to that pledge”, he said.
While talking to media the Indian Minister said the six militants involved in the attack have been killed.
“Living in the same region and with a common history, the two countries should remain committed to a sustained dialogue process”, it said, adding, “The challenge of terrorism calls for strengthening our resolve to a cooperative approach”.
