Daultana urges India to avoid escalating tensions

VEHARI: Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting Muhammad Azeem Khan Daultana has urged India to avoid escalating tensions saying that Pakistan was committed to peace but its desire for peace should not be taken as weakness.
While talking to APP on Sunday, he said that wars have neither solved problems in past nor they would yield positive results in future.
Daultana made it clear that Pakistan has the capability to defend the country if war was imposed. But, he added, Pakistan wants to maintain regional peace and will continue to make efforts in this direction to avoid any harm to peace in the region.
He said that history is witness that Pakistan always avoided war and was ready to settle the Kashmir issue through talks.
While India continues to raise hue and cry over one incident, Pakistan was the worst hit by terrorism for the last ten years, Daultana said. We have suffered enormous losses in combating terrorism and no other country can match the sacrifices Pakistan has offered. "We lost even our dear leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto due to menace of terrorism."-APP
