The Pakistani team probing the Pathankot terror attack will not be allowed into the Air Force Station, Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh said on Tuesday.

His statement puts to rest the speculation on giving Pakistan access to one of India’s critical military installations on the western border.

“As stated by our Minister, we cannot allow them [the Special Investigation Team] inside the Pathankot airbase,” he told journalists after visiting the Republic Day parade camp of the National Cadet Corps (NCC).
