Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has said Pakistan will continue to play its role in maintaining and supporting peace in the region, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing an event at Institute of Regional Studies in Islamabad on Tuesday, Tarar assured that Kashmir dispute will always remain a priority for our government.
He said we shall continue to extend moral, political and diplomatic support to Kashmiri people. He said Pakistan stands by the UN resolutions for grant of right of self-determination to the Kashmiri people.
The Information Minister said our adversary's policy is based on deceit and treachery. He said the false notion of rising India and assuming the role of a bully in South Asia was very effectively countered by Pakistan during the four-day war. He said the whole world witnessed that when an aggressor resorted to an unprovoked and unjustified aggression, the whole Pakistani nation came together and our response compelled the enemy not only to retreat but also request for a ceasefire.
He said this four-day war with India will always be remembered as a great victory of Pakistan.
The Information Minister regretted the recent Indian posture of bringing politics to the sport of cricket. He said Pakistan proved its military dominance and shot down six Indian fighter jets. He said a nation which is morally bankrupt and lacks values will always resort to such theatrics on the sports field when it cannot prevail on the military front.
