India to help Pakistan probe Pathankot attack, foreign-secretary level talks deferred

India and Pakistan agreed to defer foreign-secretary levels talks on Pathankot air base attack, which killed seven Indian security personnel.

Meanwhile, India said it will support Pakistan to investigate the probe as Islamabad plans to send a special team to Pathankot for investigation.

“We have noted that the Pakistan government is considering sending a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the Pathankot terror attack. We look forward to the visit of the SIT. Our investigative agencies will extend all cooperation to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice,” said external affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup, adding Pakistan’s crackdown on Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorist group was a positive first step.

Talks will be rescheduled between the two neighbours.
