Pathankot terror attack: 'Reviewed progress' on leads provided by India, says Pakistan#ISLAMABAD : After a second high-level meeting chaired by Pakistan  Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in two days, Pakistan today said it has “reviewed progress” on the leads provided by India which has linked Foreign Secretary-level talks to Islamabad’s decisive action on the Pathankot terror attack.

“The meeting also discussed the Pathankot attack incident and expressed Pakistan’s condemnation of this incident and reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to cooperate with India to completely eradicate the menace of terrorism afflicting our region.

“In line with Pakistan’s commitment to effectively counter and eradicate terrorism, the meeting reviewed the progress made on the information provided by the Government of India. It was decided to remain in touch with the Government of India in this regard,” a statement issued after the meeting by Pakistan Prime Minister’s #NawazSharif  Office said.

Yesterday, India put the ball squarely in Pakistan’s court, linking the fate of Foreign Secretary-level talks scheduled for January 15 to Islamabad’s “prompt and decisive” action on the Pathankot terror attack for which it has provided “actionable intelligence”.

The meetings have been held against the backdrop of India’s insistence on action by Pakistan especially when Pakistan PM #NawazSharif  called PM  Narendra Modi over phone from Colombo and promised “prompt and decisive action” against the terrorists.
