Thowra/Moran, Assam: Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said that Pakistan has for the first time acknowledged that the terror attack in Pathankot had its roots in the country.
"Pakistan had been continuously saying that it has no involvement in militant and terror activities in India. But now it has acknowledged the Pathankot attack and filed an FIR. Their (probe) team has come here and our team is going to Pakistan," Mr Singh told election rallies in Assam.
Mr Singh attributed Pakistan's cooperation to the "growing importance" of India in the global scenario under PM Modi's leadership.
"This is due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's astute and positive political capability. All the countries of the world are acknowledging that India's strength is increasing," he said.
Accusing the Congress of continuously misleading the people of the country, he said, "I have been in politics all my life, but I don't indulge in the politics of misleading people of the country. I don't do politics like Congress."
The terrorist attack on the Pathankot Airbase in Punjab on January 2 claimed the lives of seven security personnel in a gun fight that lasted over 48 hours.
