Pak JIT reaches Pathankot, will have access to isolated places only

As the Congress and AAP launched a tirade against the government, Parrikar said the defence ministry had "refused permission" to the visiting Pakistani probe panel to access the entire Indian Air Force (IAF) base, where six Pakistani militants in a gun and bomb attack on January 2 killed seven Indian security personnel.

An outraged opposition on Monday questioned the government's move to allow Pakistanis, including an ISI officer, into India to probe the Pathankot terror attack even as Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said the visiting investigators would only go to an isolated "crime" spot and not the entire sensitive airbase.

He said that the shootout area was "completely barricaded" and "visually blocked" to prevent any view of sensitive areas. "The area is isolated, taken out of the airbase," Parrikar told reporters in Panaji on the sidelines of the DefExpo 2016.

The site however is part of the sprawling 2,000-acre complex that houses high-value Indian defence assets, including fighter jets. The minister insisted the shootout site has no contact with the base and has a separate entry also.
