Pakistan investigation team to visit Pathankot today
According to reports, they will be shown only the areas where the encounter between the security forces and the militants took place.
A five-member joint investigation team (JIT) from Pakistan met officials from India’s National Investigative Agency (NIA) in New Delhi on Monday as part of their own investigation into the attack.
India has blamed Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed for the attack.
The terrorists were engaged in an 80-hour-long gun battle with Indian security personnel.
The Congress party and the Aam Aadmi Party have raised questions regarding the inclusion of an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) official in the JIT.
The Pakistani team, consisting of two intelligence officers, including one from ISI, and three investigators, who have been given a seven-day visa, will conduct their inquiries in Delhi and Punjab.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday attacked the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over allowing the Pakistan probe team to visit India and investigate the Pathankot attack.
He accused that the PM has surrendered to Pakistan by allowing investigators from the neighbouring nation to visit India and investigate the Pathankot attack.
"Why has the PM surrendered before Pakistan? India will not tolerate it," Kejriwal said.
