Pathankot, Jan 2 (IBNS) The terror attack in Punjab is "the first major challenge to PM (Narendra) Modi's bold Pakistan gambit," tweeted former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah after terrorists stormed the Pathankot air force base early on Saturday morning.

At least six terrorists attacked the air force base.  Four terrorists and two security personnel have been killed in the gunbattle.

"That was quick. Here's the first major challenge to the PM Modi's bold Pakistan gambit.," Abdullah tweeted.

"The BJP now has to sidestep its previous 'terror & talks can't go together' and insulate the Indo-Pak dialogue from such attacks," he said.

"From past experience I'm sure it emerge that these militants crossed over within the last few hours with the airbase as a specific target," his another tweet said.

Welcoming PM Modi surprise stopover in Lahore,  Abdullah had tweeted earlier, "The re-engagement with Pakistan is a good step and a very welcome development. However more than grand gestures we need consistency."
