New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs on Wednesday convened a high level meeting over the visit of the Pakistani investigation team for probe into the Pathankot terror attacks.
Representatives from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) were also slated to attend the meeting where the terms of reference for the Pakistan probe team would be discussed.
This comes a day after a five-member Pakistani Joint Investigation Team on Tuesday applied for visa to come to India to carry forward the probe into the Pathankot terror attack.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup had said the modalities of the visit of the JIT will now be finalised as Pakistan has given the names of the delegation to Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
Asked whether the JIT would be given access to the Pathankot air base and duration of their stay, Swarup said details like where they would go, how they would go and what kind of access they would be given were being finalised.
"All these will be subject of discussion as modalities will now be finalised," he said.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, after a meeting with her Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz, in Nepal's Pokhra on the sidelines of a SAARC Foreign Ministers' meeting had announced that the Pakistani JIT will arrive in India on March 27.
Six Pakistani terrorists, suspected to be belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammad, had attacked the airbase on January 2 in which seven security personnel were killed. In the gun-battle, all the six terrorists were also killed.
