Not allowing NIA team into Pakistan is betrayal: Rajnath

Pathankot attack

NEW DELHI: Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh Saturday said his trust in Pakistan on the issue of fighting terrorism had been completely shaken, as the kind of support which India expected from it was not coming.

As the Modi government completed two years in office, Singh also made it clear that not allowing an NIA team into Pakistan to probe the Pathankot terror strike will amount to betrayal.

In interviews to news channels, the home minister said his trust in Pakistan had been completely shaken.

On Pathankot, he said it was mutually agreed informally by the two countries that once Pakistan’s Joint Intelligence Team visits India, an NIA team would be allowed into Pakistan.

“We are waiting that the NIA team is allowed to visit Pakistan,” he said.  Those connected with Pathankot terror case must be punished, he said.
