Kejriwal asks Modi to apologize over Pathankot probe

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "apologize to the nation" for allowing a Pakistani team to probe the terror attack on the Pathankot IAF base.

Amid Pakistani media reports that the Pakistani investigators had concluded that the January 2 attack was staged by India, Kejriwal insisted that there had been some "deal" between the BJP and Islamabad.
"What was the need to invite the very people who attacked the base to investigate the attack?"
Kejriwal said there was mass anger over the Modi government's decision to allow a Pakistani Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to visit the Pathankot base and also hold talks with the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
He recalled that Modi used to thunder at election rallies during the Lok Sabha election of 2014 that one had to be stern with Pakistan and that sending "love letters" to Islamabad won't help.
"So what happened now? Why did our prime minister surrender to Pakistan? What were the compulsions that made him go to Pakistan to wish Happy Birthday to (Prime Minister) Nawaz Sharif?
The Bharatiya Janata party meanwhile hit back at r Arvind Kejriwal for his criticism of the Pathankot airbase attack probe, saying his remarks exposed his "lack of knowledge".
Senior BJP leader M.J. Akbar said: "Kejriwal has exposed his own lack of knowledge, his own ignorance of the nuances of foreign policy and relationships with a neighbour with whom we have a complex history."
