ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has urged major powers not to make the war on terrorism controversial and a victim of their geopolitics.
He stated this while addressing the National Assembly on Friday in response to the United States and India’s joint statement mentioning Pakistan.
Bilawal Bhutto said the international community should take the menace of terrorism seriously as the scourge could be eliminated through collective efforts.
He regretted that the focus of the world had shifted from terrorism to Ukraine conflict. The foreign minister said Pakistan was the biggest victim of terrorism and “we have suffered more casualties than any other country of the world”.
He said it was in the interest of Pakistan to curb terrorism and extremism for peace, stability and prosperity of its own people.
Regarding trials of civilians in military courts, he said those involved in attacking the military installations and the memorials of martyrs did not deserve any leniency.
