Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari told India that Osama bin Laden is dead, but the butcher of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, is still alive and has become the Prime Minister of India.
Bilawal told reporters at a press conference in New York on Thursday that the Indian government does not believe in Gandhi’s ideology, but believes in the ideology of his killer. He said that Indian government is influenced by Hitler.
Condemning India’s role in fueling terrorism in Pakistan, the foreign minister said that terrorist elements in Pakistan are supported by the neighboring country. He said that external elements are trying to create instability in Balochistan.
Bilawal Bhutto said that there is irrefutable evidence of Indian involvement in Lahore’s Johar Town blast. He demanded that elements responsible for terrorism in Pakistan should be brought to justice.
He said that terrorism in Pakistan is sponsored from abroad. He stressed the need to prevent terrorist groups from receiving training and financial support from across the border.
The Foreign Minister said that Pakistan is proud of its achievements in the war against terrorism, as the country has taken concrete steps in the National Action Plan for Counter-Terrorism.
He said that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) endorsed Pakistan’s measures to curb the financing of terrorism. Bilawal also said that it is wrong to blame terrorism on the Muslim world because terrorism is not related to any religion or region.
He pointed out that since 2001, terrorism has mainly targeted Muslims. In addition, there were incidents of targeting Chinese citizens in Karachi.
Throwing light on the post-flood situation in Pakistan, the Foreign Minister said that some areas of Balochistan and Sindh are still submerged in water. The massive floods badly affected the health, education and infrastructure sectors.
He emphasized that the help of the international community is very important for Pakistan to meet the challenge of rehabilitation and reconstruction of the victims.
He urged the international community to include the Afghan Transitional Government. Bilawal said that primary education is allowed in Afghanistan but the permission for secondary education is awaited.
In response to a question regarding Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, he said that the former prime minister lost three out of ten seats of his party.
He said that if my party had lost three of its ten seats, I would have been very worried.
