Islamabad: Minister of State for Law and Justice Barrister Aqeel Malik on Wednesday said that a comprehensive dossier should be presented to the international community and relevant global forums highlighting what he alleged is India’s involvement in promoting terrorism in Pakistan.
Speaking to a private television channel, Malik claimed that India was involved in supporting terrorist activities, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said Pakistan’s armed forces and law enforcement agencies were continuing operations to eliminate terrorism and maintain peace in the country. The minister stressed the need to convene a national security committee meeting to discuss the challenges confronting the country.
Commenting on the political situation, Malik criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, alleging that they had failed to take effective measures to address governance and security issues in the province. He urged the party to rise above political differences and work collectively to resolve the challenges facing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Paying tribute to the armed forces and police, he said security personnel were making immense sacrifices in the fight against terrorism. He emphasized that combating terrorism was a shared national responsibility and called on political parties including Opposition to support the efforts to eradicate militancy from the region.
