'Anti Pak-India elements won't succeed in their plans'

Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on Wednesday said some anti Pak-India elements want to sabotage the dialogue process between New Delhi and Islamabad through acts like the Pathankot air base attack but they would not succeed in their nefarious designs.

Indian leadership has not levelled any allegation on Islamabad regarding the Pathankot airbase terror attack, Radio Pakistan quoted Asif as saying.

He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in a telephonic contact have agreed that a cordial relationship was the most appropriate response to the terrorists.

Pakistan itself was a victim of terrorism and fighting a successful war against the menace, he said.

The terrorist attack on the Indian Air Force base in Punjab's Pathankot town left at least seven security personnel and six terrorists killed.
