He expressed these views while talking to the media after visiting the residence of martyred Lance Naik Taimoor Aslam to offer condoles to his family. The Punjab governor said Taimoor Aslam sacrificed his life to protect the country and his sacrifice would not go waste. “The whole nation is standing with the family of the martyred soldier and we would never leave them alone,” he said. “I have assured the family of Taimoor Aslam of all support, including financial, on behalf of the Punjab and federal governments,” he added. He termed Indian Premier Narendra Modi more dangerous than Hitler and said Modi was already called “the butcher of Gujarat.” The Punjab governor said the Indian rulers should understand that war could ruin the peace in the region.

If war broke out, it would be the last war of the subcontinent, he warned.

Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar said that from the very first day, India was against the Afghan peace process and Kartarpur Corridor project, adding that Pakistan would complete the corridor before the 550th birth anniversary celebrations of Baba Guru Nanak.

He said that it had been established that India was not serious in resolving the Kashmir issue. The people of Pakistan were always ready to render any sacrifice for their country, he added.

He said the international community should take serious notice of human rights violations in Indian-Held Kashmir and the Indian atrocities should be stopped.

To a question about Kartarpur Corridor, the Punjab governor said that India had tried to sabotage the project but its all conspiracies would be foiled.

Today, the whole world and the Sikh community were supporting the project, he said, adding that Sikh pilgrims would be provided with every facility, including visas and foolproof security. —APP
