Will teach Pathankot plotter lesson: Parrikar

New Delhi, February 5

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said India would “surely” teach a lesson to the mastermind of the Pathankot air base attack and admitted that the terrorists were probably inside the air base even before intelligence about an impending strike was received.Noting that India “is losing much of its patience”, Parrikar said the country would give tit-for-tat. “Eent ka jawaab patthar se denge (We will reply to bricks with stones),” he said. Parrikar said the “pushers” of the attack were in Pakistan, refusing to disclose further details.“You have to plan. Here I have named individual and organisation, and have not named any country, because if it’s against a country, then it means war. We want to teach a lesson to the individual. Where and when, that will be our choice,” Parrikar said on a TV channel. On counter-attack against terror camps in Pakistan, Parrikar was quoted as saying the time will be chosen by India. — P
