Launching a scathing attack on the BJP government, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must apologise to the country for allowing a Pakistani team to visit Pathankot in connection with January 2 terror attack probe.


Kejriwal said the Centre has stabbed "Mother India" in the back by allowing Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) members visit Pathankot.Kejriwal said there was mass anger over the Modi government's decision to allow a Pakistani Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to visit the Pathankot base and also hold talks with the National Investigation Agency (NIA).


He recalled that Modi used to thunder at election rallies during the 2014 general election that one had to be stern with Pakistan and that sending "love letters" to Islamabad won't help."So what happened now? Why did our prime minister surrender to Pakistan? What were the compulsions that made him go to Pakistan to wish Happy Birthday to (Prime Minister) Nawaz Sharif? Let them (government) tell us what has been the deal... What happened when Modi went to Pakistan... Modi should apologize to the nation," Kejriwal said.


Responding to a question over his cabinet colleague Kapil Mishra's tweet in which the minister compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi with as agent of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Kejriwal said, "We are not worried about the language. The whole nation is angry over what PM has done. PM  Modi should apologise to the nation."

"Do we have a ISI agent as PM now?? Its very serious the way PM is surrendering to anti India forces?" Mishra had tweeted earlier today.

"Even though BJP/RSS chants 'Bharat Mata ki Jai,' but by inviting ISI to India they have stabbed Mother India in the back," Kejriwal had tweeted in the morning.The government allowed a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) from Pakistan, including an ISI official, to visit India last month to probe the terrorist attack in January on Pathankot air force station in Punjab.

The JIT has concluded, according to media reports in Pakistan, that the Pathankot attack was staged by India to spread "viciuos propaganda" against Pakistan.Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been protesting against allowing Pakistan's JIT a role in the investigation on the ground that the ISI, a state actor, has long been the instigator of terrorism in India.
