India promoting terror in Pakistan,tension on borders: Kh Asif

SIALKOT: Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani on Sunday said the political and military leaderships were united against any form of Indian aggression.
On the other hand, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said India had been backing terrorism inside Pakistan and promoting tension along the country’s borders.
Rabbani expressed these views during his visit to the CMH, Sialkot, to inquire after the health of those injured due to the Indian firing and shelling in Kundanpur and other border villages.
He added that it was the responsibility of the government to raise the issue of repeated ceasefire violations by India at the United Nations and other international forums to show the actual dark side of India.
He said a desperate and frustrated Modi-led Indian government was repeatedly initiating unprovoked aggression against Pakistan on the Line of Control and Working Boundary in order to hide internal failures, especially in maintaining law and order in Occupied Kashmir, Gujarat and other places.
He complained that Pakistanis used to raise a unified voice against any aggression against Muslims in any part of the world but the role of Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) regarding the Indian cross-border aggression was far from satisfactory.
“I will talk to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take effective measures to secure the border villages,” Rabbani assured the victims.
The defence minister, during a visit to the Kundanpur village which suffered the most human loss in Indian aggression, expressed solidarity with the locals. Talking to the media, he warned that India must immediately stop the ceasefire violations and killing innocent Pakistanis, otherwise, it would get an effective and befitting reply. Khawaja Asif said the armed forces would defend every inch of their motherland and the 200 million Pakistanis stood united with them.
He said the latest events were exposing the real face of India which was supporting terrorism in Pakistan and creating tension along the Working Boundary and Line of Control. He said India was diverting attention from internal failures by creating tension on the borders.
He welcomed the visit of US national security adviser amid growing tensions with India and urged that the international community to take a serious notice of fresh Indian brutalities at the Sialkot border.
Later, he visited the CMH and distributed the relief cheques, announced earlier by the Punjab government, among the affected people.
AJK Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majeed said the freedom movement in the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir had got a fresh impetus despite the ever-increasing terror by the Indian Army, which had resulted in a frustrated Indian reaction in the shape of repeated border violations.
Addressing a gathering along with former federal minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan at a local hall on the Kashmir Road, he said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif must take a bold stance on Kashmir and ceasefire violations at international level because Pakistan was incomplete without Kashmir — a natural component.
Later, he distributed relief cheques among the victims and also visited the injured persons at the CMH, where he, while talking to the media, stressed the need for early economic and political stability of Pakistan to meet all the internal and external threats.
Meanwhile, Sialkot DCO Dr Asif Tufail said the Punjab government had provided financial compensation to all the injured persons admitted at the hospital.
