Indian Air Base at Pathankot under attack by gunmen.

[Counterpunch]

Some members are resorting to stick measuring comparing Badaber with Pathankot. This is not right; morally as well as technically. As the intention of the attackers has been totally different in both the cases. In Badaber they had the shoot to kill orders who ever may come across and there were no strategic assets stationed at Badaber (having stayed there for 8 years) so they just stepped in and started shooting. They found 20 or so people gathered in the mosque (right on the main road open to general public that bisects the two parts of the living areas) and sprayed them with bullets.
However, at Pathankot the terrorists probably had the orders to destroy the assets alone. They were there for the long haul as proven by the fight back for 3 days and hence they didn't go rambo right upon entering. Or do you want me to believe that the terrorists didn't have a chance of harming any civilian having entered the living quarters/blocks of the 14 Km airbase? Were there no unarmed people left in the housing area/base area at all? So they probably didn't have the intention of a massacre as the only people who got killed are the ones who defended or conducted the operation. Had they planned a massacre they could have headed straight to the living areas with the inhabitants still asleep neutralizing any guards, like they intended in Badaber. Of course, there would have been far little security around the living quarters compared to the aircraft hangars/pens.

So I would request everyone to have regard for all the martyrs (Badaber/Pathankot) while dueling on Pathankot. Men fight in the battlefield not from behind their screens! So save it for then

Come on man, If some one can infiltrate into a Airforce base with so much of ammunition, Obviously they are trained by a military and supported by a country. You dont need a big investigation to find out who possibly could have done. All I can say is Pakistan is preparing for a doomsday all by themself and destroying themself day by day. Better if they focus all their resoures on something good instead of this Evil.

I also agree Navaz Sherif got nothing to do here! When he go nothing to do in Pakistan itself, what can you expect him to do in India!

And the trainer country can be your own one? right? anyway you NEED BIG INVESTIGATION to find out your own insider help or facilitation for such an easy infiltration.

An attack on a airbase cannot be planned without inside information.

Can you apply the same logic to murder of Childrens in your country ??? I hope not

Actually Media anywhere is not for trusting or doubting by government but it is all about understanding the media and when a country incorporate nationalism in its media just like India had been doing for long, then you come to a saturated point where you guys are right now viz a viz Media warmongering. Your media is learn indeed in the long run. But till then the public will continue to suffer.

nationalism and Indian media? private business houses are interested in TRPs and money only.

5 have been killed, but combing operations are underway. It is suspected though that there is a 6th person too.

• Indo-Pak FS-level talks: India 'mulling options'

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI) India is "mulling options" with regard to the Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan scheduled to be held in Islamabad on January 15, in light of the terror attack at Pathankot air base.

Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar is scheduled to travel to Islamabad on January 14 to hold discussions with his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry to chalk out a roadmap to carry forward the engagement under the newly-announced "Bilateral Comprehensive Dialogue".

However, official sources today said the government was "mulling options" with regard to the Islamabad meeting.

There has been speculation that the talks may be deferred and that the National Security Advisors of the two countries may meet to discuss the situation arising out of the Pathankot terror strike suspected to have been carried out by Pakistani terrorists.

In a pre-dawn attack, a group of heavily-armed terrorists, suspected to be belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed outfit, attacked the Air Force base in Pathankot.

The process of resumption of talks was set in motion after a meeting between Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan in Paris on November 30 on the sidelines of Climate Change Conference.

The meet was followed by the NSAs of India and Pakistan meeting in Bangkok a week later following which the External Affairs Minister visited Pakistan to attend Heart of Asia Conference during which the two sides announced the resumption of talks under "Bilateral Comprehensive Dialogue" process.

In a surprise move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also visited Lahore on December 25 to greet his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on his birthday in person.

The two foreign secretaries are scheduled to discuss modalities and other schedule-related aspects to carry forward the dialogue process.

PPL do here realise right if UJC has such "reach" then they would have done many more attacks rather than just one now!!!
HIghway squad is more like high way to heaven or hell.. Should have chosen a better name.. just saying!!

FOr media as i said earlier ban channels for a week .. at least 1 or 2.. i nominate NDTV for the first ban slot.. it will teach everybody to behave properly and stop doing super investigative journalistic work

This would be considered as a "WAR" on Secularism on India . Hence, it won't happen. May be some law which will have them accountable or come up with a News Channel which can burst these presstitutes Propaganda.

The Pakistani terrorist group you are accusing of this attack is one of the biggest enemies and provider of suicide bombers against Pakistani people.


Thank you I was not well.

I thought Pakistan vowed to fight against terror groups, didn't knew they had hidden (*) after that commitment.

He's live on Air & addressing a press conference. #STFU

Only good thing Kejriwal did was go after him, no one else had enough guts to go after him openly.

We should not defer talks.. in fact if UJC has done it seriously and since UJC folks are in I OK P OK with HuJ leadership based out of PO K. we should discuss and start a jointly timed ops for IA in IOK and PA in P OK to weed out such scums who wants to destabilise India Pakistan peace process

I hope some action must be taken against media, these nincompoop have no shame. Shoving their mics in the face of family members of dead soldiers for TRPs and asking "How are you feeling?" fcuking disgrace to humanity these monkeys with camera and mics.

Even peace process is going no where, did you think India or Pakistan change their stance on Kashmir no never. peace process will only give time to develop their economies and weapons stock thats all. Kashmir is a / will be nuclear flash point even so called super powers never wants that issue solved or Pakistan India reach some kind of deal. if some kind of deal happens then next super powers will be India and Pakistan among China and they don't want that.
