New Delhi: Keeping up the offensive over the visit of a Pakistani Joint Investigation (JIT) team to probe the Pathankot terror attack, Congress today accused the government of compromising the country's sovereignty and setting a "wrong" precedent.
"It is known all over that the Pakistani ISI is behind the terror attacks in India, including the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes, and still we are serving biryani to the JIT which also includes an ISI representative," party spokesman PL Punia told reporters.
Questioning the visit of the JIT to the strategic air base at Pathankot, he said it was "unprecedented" as there are never technical and non-technical areas at such defence installations.
Replying to a question, he said the Narendra Modi dispensation has set a "wrong" precedent by allowing the JIT to visit India.
"Tomorrow we will also allow China to send any such team. What happened to those who used to boast of a 56-inch chest," he said, in a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Congress has been saying that according an almost "red carpet welcome" to JIT compromised national security and likened it to an accused investigating himself.
