Finally! Pak arrests Jaish-e-Mohammed members for Pathankot attack
Pakistan\'s law enforcement agencies have arrested 12 suspects of banned Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) over links with the attack on Indian Air base in Pathankot.
Pakistan's law enforcement agencies have arrested 12 suspects of banned Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) over links with the attack on Indian Air base in Pathankot.
The suspects were arrested from different cities of southern Punjab, according to the online newspaper, Daily Pakistan.
Islamabad has decided to share the development with Indian side and a proposal to send a top level investigation team to New Delhi was also under consideration, according to a spokesman for Pakistan's Prime Minister Office.
A meeting chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was informed on Wednesday that offices of JeM that allegedly conducted Pathankot attack were secretly operating in four cities of Punjab.
The offices have been sealed in Bahwalnagar, Bahawalpur, Multan and Muzafargarh cities and the suspected members of the group were also held, top officials briefed Sharif.
Chief of Army Staff General (COAS) Raheel Sharif, DG Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant General Rizwan Akhtar, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Prime Minister's National Security Adviser Lieutenant-General (r) Nasir Janjua and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif were told in the meeting that the arrested people could be possible facilitators of Pathankot attackers.
Union home minister Rajnath Singh said Tuesday that India had “no reason to distrust” Pakistan’s assurances that it will take effective action on the inputs given by India about the perpetrators of the Pathankot attack. “The Pakistan government has said it will take effective action. I think we should wait,” Mr Singh said. The foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan that were due to be held from Friday are all set to be somewhat delayed.
The home minister told reporters that since the Pakistan government had given an assurance to India, “there is no reason to distrust (avishvaas) them (Pakistan) so early”.
