QADIAN (GURDASPUR): Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Captain Amarinder Singh termed the joint investigation team (JIT) formed by Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif to look into the terror attack on the Pathankot airbase an eyewash.
“It’s ironic that the Pakistan spy agency ISI — that controls the terror outfit Jaish-eMohammed that is believed to behind the deadly strike — is a part of the JIT,” Amarinder told reporters at former PPCC chief Partap Singh Bajwa’s house in Qadian in Gurdaspur district.
“The Shakargarh tehsil in Pakistan that was a part of Gurdaspur district before Partition provided Pakistani intruders an easy way to sneak into India,” he claimed.
Replying to a query, the PPCC chief said Punjab Police had given information to the Centre about the presence of Pakistani ultras in the area 48 hours before they launched the attack.
CONG LEADERS ATTEND MARTYRS’ ‘BHOG’
Amarinder attended the bhog ceremonies of Gurdaspur martyrs Fateh Singh and Kulwant Singh, who laid down their lives fighting terrorists during the Pathankot attack.
Amarinder was accompanied by Punjab Congress campaign committee chairperson Ambika Soni, general secretary and incharge of Punjab affairs Shakeel Ahmad, AICC secretary Harish Chaudhary, Congress Legislative Party leader Charanjit Singh Channi, former PCC president Partap Singh Bajwa and other senior leaders.
In his tribute, Amarinder said soldiers from Gurdaspur are known for their gallantry. He also promised the families of the two martyrs all help.
