Pak President condemns Pathankot terror attack

Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain today condemned the terror attack on the IAF base in Pathankot, saying the country is against all forms of terrorism.
"Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations including the incident at Pathankot," he was quoted as saying in an official statement.
Hussain was talking to a delegation from Pakistan- occupied Kashmir (PoK), who called on him at the President House here.
The President said that Pakistan is against all kinds of terrorism.
He, however, said that Pakistan would continue to adhere to the "principled stand of the right of self-determination of Kashmiri people which is the basis of its foreign policy."

"Pakistan would continue supporting the right of self-determination of Kashmiris because Pakistan considers Kashmir as an unfinished agenda of the partition of the subcontinent," he said.

He said that "the support for the right of self- determination for Kashmiri people is the basic principle of Pakistan's foreign policy" and the country has raised the voice in support of Kashmiris on every political and diplomatic forum and it would continue playing this role in future as well.
The Pathankot terror attack began on Saturday last with six terrorists sneaking into the Air Base, leading to an encounter in which seven securitymen, including a Lt Colonel, were killed.

Six terrorists were eliminated during the encounter with the security forces.
The terrorists were believed to owe allegiance to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
