Pathankot attack: Pakistan working on leads provided by India  

ISLAMABAD: In line with Pakistan’s commitment to effectively counter and eradicate terrorism, the government is in touch with the Indian government over Pathankot airbase attack and is working on the leads provided by it, Pakistan’s Foreign Office said.

In a statement on late Monday, the foreign office said, the unfortunate terrorist incident in Pathankot has been categorically condemned by Pakistan.

Following Pathankot airbase attack and baseless allegations, Pakistan urged India to remain committed to a sustained dialogue process.

“The challenge of terrorism calls for strengthening our resolve to a cooperative approach,” the Foreign Office said.

Pakistan’s reaction follows reports in the Indian media that the attack may jeopardise the Foreign Secretary-level talks in mid January in Islamabad.

Pakistan have also extended its deepest condolences to the government and people of India. “We understand the pain of many families who have lost their dear ones in this tragedy, as Pakistan itself is a major victim of terrorism,” the statement added.
