| Indo-Pak ties at crossroads again |
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that Indian leadership should not indulge in blame game over Mumbai attacks – He said Pakistan has decided on its own to extend full cooperation and assistance to India in the investigation of the incident.
Addressing a press conference at the Foreign Office, Qureshi said the federal cabinet has strongly condemned the Mumbai incident and expressed grief and sorrow with Indian government and people. It also offered condolences to the bereaved families.
The Foreign Minister said Pakistan stands fully committed to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, as it has also been a victim of terrorism. Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan has also offered unconditional support and assistance to India to unearth the hands in this ghastly incident of Mumbai.
He said Pakistan government attaches high importance to having good, friendly and neighborly relations with India, as these relations are necessary for peace and stability in the region.
He said the Cabinet has also decided to remain fully engaged with the Indian government and political leadership. Meanwhile, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and the Director General of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. General Ahmed Shuja Pasha had an important meeting to discuss the situation prevailing due to the recent incidents of terrorism in Mumbai.
Military sources term next 48 hours to be highly critical – do you think that prevailing tension could lead to any eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation between two nuclear-armed countries? And does India have plans to carry out any misadventure against Pakistan? We would welcome your opinion on this important development! |
