| 2016-01-08 |
| [DAWN] India on Thursday said it is awaiting Pakistan’s response on the information provided related to the Pathankot incident, following which it will decide on the resumption of bilateral peace talks scheduled for later this month. India's foreign ministry said Islamabad has been given actionable intelligence that those who planned the assault came from Pakistan. "As far as we are concerned the ball is now in Pakistan's court," spokesman Vikas Swarup told reporters when asked if the talks were on. "The immediate issue in front of us is Pakistan's response to the terrorist attack." A meeting between the foreign secretaries of both nations had been tentatively scheduled for January 15. A senior Pakistani official said India provided intelligence that included telephone numbers, call intercepts, and locations where they believe the attackers or their handlers were. Pakistan is following up the leads, the official said, and hopes that the talks would not be canceled while it explores them. "Sorry. Nobody there. We asked around and everything." |
