Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar cancelled his scheduled programs in Goa and rushed to the national capital following the terror attack at IAF base in Pathankot in Punjab this morning.
Parrikar was to chair the meeting of BJP legislators here on the medium of instruction issue this afternoon. Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar later chaired the meeting in Parrikar's absence.
In a pre-dawn attack, a group of heavily-armed Pakistani terrorists, suspected to belong to Jaish-e-Mohammed outfit, struck at the Air Force base, leading to a fierce gun-battle in which three security personnel were killed along with four attackers.
