NEW DELHI: The national security advisers of India and Pakistan continue to remain in touch with each other following the terror attack on the Pathankot airbase in January this year, Indian government said on Wednesday.
“The two NSAs have been in touch with each other following the Pathankot attack in January 2016 regarding the follow-up by Pakistan on actionable information provided by India concerning the attack,” Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh said in reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, lower house of the Indian parliament.
In his reply to the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, V.K. Singh said that infiltrators from Pakistan or Pakistan-administered Kashmir perpetrated several terrorist attacks in India and Jammu and Kashmir, “benefiting from the terrorist infrastructure existing there”. “Recently, there has been a rise in such attacks, which include the attack in Gurdaspur (July 27, 2015), Udhampur (August 5, 2015), Pathankot (January 2-4, 2016) and Pampore (February 20-21, 2016),” he stated.
“Our concerns regarding anti-India terrorism emanating from Pakistan have been taken up with international community and also bilaterally with Pakistan on a number of occasions.”
India’s National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval also discussed this concern with his Pakistani counterpart Nasir Khan Janjua when they met in Bangkok on December 6 last year, Singh said.
