Delhi BJP workers and a group of local residents in central Delhi today paid homage to the fallen security personnel in the Pathankot terror attack.

Six terrorists, who had sneaked into the country from Indo-Pak border in Pakistan, had attacked Indian Air Force base in Pathankot during the intervening night of January 1 and 2.

They were killed during a counter-operation by Indian forces that lasted for about three days in which seven security personnel were killed.

Those men gave their lives while fighting terrorists at the IAF base. The nation will never be able to pay back their debt, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay said at the programme held outside Palika Bazar in the busy Connaught Place area.
 

Besides party workers and leaders many locals also attended the programme organised by BJP's New Delhi district unit.

Another such programme will be organised by the BJP Minority Morcha outside Fatehpuri Masjid, Chandni Chowk, at 1.30 pm tomorrow, party spokesman Praveen Kapoor said.
