Jaish-e-Mohammad chief was never held!

In well-coordinated moves, India and Pakistan ensured that the Pathankot terror attack does not derail their engagement by mutually agreeing to a short deferment of Foreign Secretary-level talks and India giving the go-ahead to the visit of a Pakistan SIT. The detention of about a dozen members of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), said to be behind the attack, was today welcomed by India as an “important and positive first step” even as it emphasised that “empty statements” alone would not do because it wanted action on the ground.
