Pathankot terror attack staged by India, says Pakistan JIT: Report
India Today | New Delhi, April 5, 2016 | UPDATED 10:52 IST
Accusing India of using Pathankot terror attack for a “vicious propaganda” against Pakistan, the country’s Joint Investigation Team (JIT) that visited India last month to probe the incident has said it was staged.
A prominent Pakistani newspaper Pakistan Today has quoted officials from the JIT as saying in their report on Pathankot that “the Indian authorities had prior information about the attackers”.
India ‘failed’ to provide evidence to Pakistan JIT on Pathankot attack: Report
The Indian Express | PTI | Islamabad | Updated: April 2, 2016 8:17 pm
A day after its return from India, the Pakistani Joint Investigation Team ( Pakistan JIT ) probing the Pathankot attack claimed that Indian authorities “failed” to provide evidence to prove that Pakistan-based terrorists had stormed the IAF base, a media report in Islamabad said on Saturday.
These are two prominent media houses of India. As soon as Pakistan JIT visited Pathankot to probe into the Pathankot Attacks jointly with NIA, Kejriwal began with his accusation politics (which he has mastered in his short stint as a mainstream Politician), wherein he tore into the Government for inviting Pak officials to probe into the Pathankot Attacks. He went on to the extent of saying that Modi has stabbed in the back of the country. And as soon as the Pakistan JIT left the country, prominent media houses of India declared it a colossal failure and a diplomatic hara-kiri.
But let us see what Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to say:
JIT’s visit to India
(2016-04-06) The Pakistani Joint Investigation Team (JIT) visited India from 27 March to 01 April 2016 for investigating the allegations regarding the attack on Pathankot Airbase, India.
The visit started with a presentation given by the Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA) regarding its investigations so far.
The JIT visited the crime scene and also recorded the statements of some witnesses. However, the witnesses belonging to the Indian security forces were not produced before it.
The JIT briefed the NIA on progress of investigations in Pakistan.
Further investigations are underway.
The visit of the JIT to India took place in the context of the cooperative approach being pursued by the Government of Pakistan as part of its commitment to effectively fight terrorism in all its forms.

Please note, that the Press Release, nowhere mentions phrases like “”vicious propaganda” against Pakistan” or “Indian authorities “failed” to provide evidence”.
So, what was it? Another Media hit-job. I, for once, don’t think so. Looks like the Indian Media latched on to the reports of their Pakistani Counterparts who are either equally rotten or worse than Indian Media. Pure naivety!
The Anti-Modi Media mustn’t leap headfirst into any news piece that admonishes Modi without some research. With the advent of Social Media and the constant debunking of their untruths by SM Warriors, the credibility of Indian Media is already at an all time low. They must act cautiously because Anti Modi is still fine, Anti India will tarnish their images for ever!
