The attack on Pathankot air base raises security concerns for Punjab as the state is witnessing a sudden surge in such activities after being peaceful for the last 20 years, the Congress said today.

In light of Narendra Modi’s recent surprise visit to Pakistan to meet Nawaz Sharif, the party wondered whether Modi would take up the matter with his counterpart, even as the ruling BJP said that the aim was to “constantly do the best” to deal with the situation.
