Pak has acknowledged Pathankot attack originated from its soil: Rajnath

Thowra/Moran (Assam), Mar 30: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said Pakistan has for the first time acknowledged that the terror attack in Pathankot had its roots in that 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," Singh told election rallies in Assam.

"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. Modi has established India's importance in the global scenario," Singh said.

Accusing 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."
