The JIT has concluded, according to media reports in Pakistan, that the Pathankot attack was staged by India to spread “vicious propaganda” against Pakistan. “It is very shameful. It is for the first time that any Prime Minister has insulted the country before Pakistan,” Kejriwal said in another tweet. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been protesting Pakistan JIT’s role in the investigation on the ground that the ISI, a state actor, has long been the instigator of terrorism in India.
