Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah on Tuesday lauded Pakistan for sending a team to the Pathankot airbase to investigate the terror attack that took place there on January 2. A five-member Joint Investigation Team, including an official of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, visited the Indian Air Force base.
"I agree that for the first time Pakistan has made serious efforts towards investigation," Shah said in Kolkata. The Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress criticised the BJP and the government for according a "red-carpet welcome" to those from whose territory the attack had been allegedly launched.
Many on social media were quick to point out that in November last year Shah had said in Bihar that crackers would be burst and Pakistan would erupt in celebration if BJP lost the Assembly elections in the state. How times had changed for Shah and the BJP, commented some on social media.
