Ghulam Nabi Azad slams Centre over its 'weak-kneed Pak policy'

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today attacked the NDA Government over what he alleged "flip-flops" and "weak-kneed Pakistan policy" in the wake of Pathankot terror strike and suggested that the Centre should revisit its foreign policy towards Islamabad.
"Though the time is not opportune to comment on the flip-flops and weak-kneed Pakistan policy of the NDA government, as our security forces are battling the terrorist assault at Pathankot airbase launched by anti-India forces from across the border, there remains a dire need to revisit the 'wishy washy' and 'consistently inconsistent' Pakistan policy being pursued by the NDA government," Azad said in a press statement.

Condemning the "dastardly and gruesome" terror attack "carried out by Pakistan-backed" terrorists at Pathankot air base in Punjab, Azad came down heavily on the neighbouring country and its "terror sponsoring" network.
He said that such dastardly acts are not going to cow us down or shake "our resolve" as a nation to combat and counter the evil designs of terror spreading networks.
"It's a cowardly act of enemies of peace and humanity which are aided and abetted from the soil of Pakistan, and our security forces are capable enough to respond adequately and appropriately," said Azad, who is the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.

Offering deep condolences to the families of the slain soldiers, Azad said,"as the nation mourns the martyrdom of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of nation, I stand in solidarity with the bereaved families in their hour of grief".
Azad also conveyed deep sympathies with those who got injured in the gruesome terror attack and prayed for their speedy and full recovery.
