Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar warned on Thursday that India’s actions could destabilise peace across South Asia.
Addressing a policy dialogue on peace in the region, Tarar alleged that India was involved in regional terrorism and pointed to its role in the Pulwama incident.
He reiterated Pakistan’s longstanding position that the country has itself been a victim of terrorism and has lost 90,000 lives in the war against it.
“Pakistan made sacrifices to protect the world from terrorism,” Tarar stated, adding that accusing Pakistan of involvement in Pulwama was unjustified.
He noted that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had offered an investigation into the attack during his address at Kakul, but India showed no interest due to its aggressive stance.”Modi is politically weaker today than ever before in India’s recent history,” Tarar added, asserting that despite Pakistan’s calls for peace, the government ensured its intentions were not mistaken for weakness.
