Claim
On 25 December 2015 PM Modi broke protocol to visit Pakistan for Nawaz Sharif's family wedding, and on 2 January 2016 the Pathankot airbase was attacked by terrorists.
“25 दिसंबर 2015 प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी प्रोटोकॉल तोड़कर अचानक पाकिस्तान पहुंच जाते हैं... और फिर... 2 जनवरी 2016 को पठानकोट एयरबेस पर आतंकी हमला होता है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Both dated events are independently documented. Modi did make a surprise, protocol-breaking visit to Lahore/Raiwind on 25 December 2015 for Nawaz Sharif's birthday and his granddaughter's wedding, and the Pathankot airbase was attacked by terrorists on 2 January 2016. The anchor's factual sequence is correct; only the framing that one caused the other is interpretive, but the stated facts and dates are accurate.
