Pathankot: A protest broke out in Pathankot town on Saturday with the locals burning an effigy of Pakistan following the terror attack on Air Force base here.
Hundreds of local residents carrying the effigy of Pakistan gathered in the areas and raised slogans against Nawaz Sharif close to the Air Force station where the attack took place. The locals set his (Sharif) effigy on fire and held Pakistan responsible for continued terror attacks in Punjab even as they demanded that stern action be taken against it.
Meanwhile, the Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal along with DGP State Police, Suresh Arora, has rushed to the spot.
"The Chief Minister and the Punjab Police DGP has rushed to Pathankot to monitor the situation," said CM Badal's advisor and SAD General Secretary, Harcharan Singh Bains.
