The government on Wednesday told the Rajya Sabha that handlers and co-conspirators send terrorists belonging to Jaish-e- Mohammad, to attack Pathankot airbase from Pakistan.
Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary said in written replies to several MPs the matter has been taken up by India with Pakistan to take action against the masterminds of the terrorist attack.
The attack on Pathankot airbase appeared to be weighing highly on MPs as seven lawmakers posed questions to the government on the terror strike. “The handlers and co-conspirators operating from outside the territorial borders of India sent trained terrorists with arms, ammunition and other logistics from Pakistan,” Chaudhary said.
