NEW DELHI: India today said it will take a decision at “appropriate time” regarding a visit by an NIA team to Pakistan in connection with Pathankot terror strike even as it asserted that Indo-Pak dialogue has not been suspended.
India has also asked Pakistan to take all necessary steps for ensuring safety, security and well being of all Indians in Pakistani custody especially in light of the mysterious death of Indian prisoner Kripal Singh in a jail there.
Asked about Pakistan Prime Minister’s Adviser Sartaj Aziz’s remarks that they may consider allowing a visit by the NIA team if India would make a formal request, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, “The (Pakistan) JIT visit was held in a constructive and cooperative environment to investigate the Pathankot Air Base attack.
“We welcome cooperation to combat all forms of terrorism… The investigations are ongoing. We will consider the next step at appropriate time.” (AGENCIES)
