Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday said that the Khuzdar attack is intolerable and that India should refrain from its practices.
While addressing the Senate, Dar, who is also foreign minister, called the attack on a school bus in Khuzdar on Wednesday “highly condemnable.”
He warned the Indian proxies to “cease their actions.”
Referring to the incidents that occurred on Indian soil and in its airspace, he said India should learn a lesson.
He emphasized the need to sit together and formulate a clear strategy to tackle the issue of terrorism.
He also gave reference of the APS (Army Public School) tragedy and said “I do not want to engage in a blame game.”
Dar said in the past, “we opened our borders and allowed 40,000 people to enter. Terrorists were brought and settled here in earlier times. It is crucial to eliminate terrorism from Pakistan and the region.”
He also mentioned that the issue of terrorism came under discussion during his recent visit to China.
Deputy Prime Minister Dar tabled a resolution regarding “Africa Friendship” and said that African nations waged successful movements for their independence, and Pakistan supported these freedom movements.
He stated that Pakistan is a key member of the United Nations peacekeeping forces. Pakistani peacekeepers have played a significant role in maintaining peace in Africa and have served in countries like Rwanda, Ghana, and Ivory Coast.
He said May 25 will be observed as “Pakistan-Africa Friendship Day”, and efforts will be made to promote parliamentary diplomacy between Pakistan and Africa.
