Want to avenge Ajmal
Kasab and Afzal Guru's hanging: Terrorist to Pathankot survivor
Even as the government refuses to admit
any lapse on the part of security and intelligence agencies in the terror
attack at Punjab’s Pathankot airbase, doubts have surfaced over how fool-proof
India's intelligence-security ecosystem really is. Defence experts and former
top servicemen feel the attack is the result of a failure of the “entire
system’’. According to latest reports, seven Indian security personnel had died
in the attack and there’s still no clarity on whether more terrorists are holed
up at the base.
The 41-year-old jeweller who was abducted by a
group of jihadis on Friday in the carjacked vehicle of the Gurdaspur SP before
they attacked the Pathankot air base said the terrorists made it plain their
objective was to avenge the hanging of Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab.
Guru was executed in 2013 for his
role in the 2001 attack on Parliament masterminded by Jaish-e-Mohammad. Ajmal
Kasab, caught alive during the 2611 Mumbai carnage, was hanged in 2012.
“India has not learnt any lesson from previous
operations carried out by Pakistan against us. We shout for two days and then
it is business as usual. It is a shame,” Major General (retired) Satbir Singh
told Firstpost.
Will give befitting reply, says Rajnath
Home minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday did not
rule out the role of Jaish-e Mohammed
in the Pathankot attack. He said, "Pakistan is our neighbour. We want good
relations with not just Pakistan but all neighbours. But if there is any terror
attack on India, we will give a befitting reply," he said.
