Buzdar, Khetran condemn India's war hysteria

LAHORE: Balochistan Minister for Science and Information Technology Sardar Abdur Rehman Khetran along with a delegation called on Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Sunday.

During the meeting, the chief minister expressed grief over the loss in Balochistan province during torrential rains, flooding and snowfall. He said that the sympathies of the Punjab government were with the people of Balochistan and he stood by the Baloch brethren and extended all possible support to them.

"We share our joys and sorrows as we live in a united land of Pakistan," said Buzdar while talking to the delegates. The Punjab CM and the Balochistan provincial minister condemned the Indian war hysteria and shelling along the Line of Control. Buzdar said the Modi government had put peace of the region in danger for elections. He said that Pakistan’s policy of peace and restraint should not be considered its weakness. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan had proved his statesmanship in the current situation.

He said the prime minister's timely and positive steps raised the image of Pakistan and he had proved with practical steps that he was a proponent of peace. He said India should shun war hysteria and hold dialogue because war was no solution to any problem rather it caused destruction.

Meanwhile, Usman Buzdar has paid tributes to the two soldiers martyred in Indian army's unprovoked firing on the Line of Control. "We salute our brave and courageous soldiers who offer sacrifices for the country." He said Hawaldar Abdur Rab and Naik Khurram embraced martyrdom to keep the green flag flying high and they are our heroes. "We are proud of our soldiers who sacrifice their lives at borders to protect their motherland" said the CM. He said the whole nation is united and stands by the Pakistan army.
