Pakistani spy agency ISI has been called to "probe" the Pathankot terror attacks, Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra today alleged and described the BJP-led government at the Centre as the "weakest" and the most "incompetent" in India's history.

Mishra, who holds the Tourism and Water portfolio in the AAP government, claimed that elements against whom Indian soldiers are fighting at the border have been called to "investigate" terror strikes in India.

"For the first time in independent India, Pakistani spy agency ISI's team was called by the Indian government. They say Pakistani agency will probe terror strikes in India. Pakistan's ISI has been called to India to probe the Pathankot attacks.
 

"Those whom our soldiers are fighting at the border are being called to probe terror attacks. I think no government has been weaker, more cowardly and incompetent in independent India's history than the current dispensation in the Centre," he said.

Mishra, an MLA from Karawal Nagar , was speaking at an event to mark Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's birth anniversary here.

Later, through a series of tweets, Mishra sought to clarify his statements and charged that the BJP government was the first to bend before Pakistan "to this extent".

"At the event to honour ex-servicemen held at Bawana, questions cropped up as to why the government was appearing to bend before Pakistan.

"Why Pakistani agencies are being called to India to probe terror attacks emanating from Pakistan? Will the attacker and investigator both come from Pakistan? In this context, I said that the current government is the weakest and the most cowardly in India's history," he tweeted.
