New Delhi/Bhopal, Mar 29 (ANI): Asserting that the visit of the Pakistan Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to Pathankot is an unprecedented initiative in regard to India-Pakistan relationship, defence experts on Tuesday said it would be now crucial to see how the Pakistan probe team use this opportunity to advance the case in Pakistan. Defence expert Uday Bhaskar said that as far as the government is concerned, there seems to be an attempt to try and provide as much as of procedural access is possible, so that Pakistan in turn can prosecute the case but India needs to be cautious. Resonating similar sentiments, defence expert S.R. Sinho said the National Investigation Agency has provided all the necessary evidences to the Pakistan JIT, but there has been no comment on this from the intelligence team of Pakistan, which does not clear their stand. Sinho termed the investigation as a 'delay', adding that the JIT is trying to show the international community that they are with India in probing the Pathankot attack.
