Broadsheet inquiry commission will expose everything: FM Qureshi
He said that there was no consensus among all the parties in the PDM
MULTAN (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Sunday said that inquiry commission formed to probe into the Broadsheet scandal will expose everything and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is not responsible for when and whom signed the Broadsheet agreement.
Talking to media in Multan on Sunday, he said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) had claimed to overthrow the government but is now fighting for its survival.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the PDM’s artificial and unnatural alliance has been exposed, adding that there is great unrest within the opposition and it is about to disintegrate very soon.
He said that there was no consensus among all the parties in the PDM, adding that there were contradictions within the ranks of the opposition alliance.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan and the United States have decided to remain engaged and work together on advancing the two countries bilateral agenda and promoting common interests in the region and beyond.
“Pakistan is committed to sustainable peace in Afghanistan and will continue to facilitate Afghan peace process,” he said and added peaceful political settlement in Afghanistan is not only in favour of Pakistan, but also for the entire region.
The FM went on to say that Pakistan has played a role of facilitator to bring both parties on the table for dialogue and added that these efforts would continue in future.
Qureshi said that he informed the US Secretary of State about the priorities of the PTI-led government.
He expressed hope that new US administration would play its effective role for solution of Kashmir issue, adding that issue of Jammu and Kashmir was not internal matter of India but a globally recognized dispute.
Basic human rights were being violated in the valley, Qureshi said, adding that Jammu and Kashmir was made jail for last 17 months by the Modi government.
Despite restrictions, the international community was well aware of brutalities being done on the innocent people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), he added.
Contrary to history, now, the international media is very much vibrant on issue of IIJOK.
The foreign minister said that similarly, the Human Rights Organizations were expressing concerns on human rights violations in the occupied valley.
The Organizations were criticizing India for brutalities in Jammu and Kashmir, he pointed out.
