CHANDIGARH: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday condemned the terror attack on the air force base in Pathankot, saying that rogue elements in Pakistan were trying to sabotage the peace process.
“It is a clear attempt by rogue elements in Pakistan at subverting and sabotaging the peace process,” he said in a statement while paying glowing tributes to the security personnel who were martyred while fighting the terrorists.
He said: “It is the responsibility of the Pakistan government to identify such elements and deal with them with a firm hand.”
The former CM said the Pathankot attack reminded him of then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s visit to Lahore while the Pakistani army was planning an attack on Kargil. “I hope it is not a repeat of what happened after the Lahore bus journey,” he observed while pointing out the attack had taken place only after a few days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lahore visit.
He said while the peace process should continue, India must not lower its guard. “We can’t allow our people, soldiers and police personnel to be killed by militants from across the border. Pakistan needs to own responsibility and deal with such elements firmly,” he asserted.
