PPP supports interfaith dialogue
ISLAMABAD, Sept 1: Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian’s spokesman Senator Farhatullah Babar, while commenting on Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri’s meeting with his Israeli counterpart in Istanbul, said: “In the new world order, interfaith dialogue is the need of the time.”
“However, no unilateral decisions should be taken on issues which will have an impact both domestically and on the Muslim world.” He added: “PPP is critical of the regime for not taking parliament into confidence before this important development. On important foreign policy issues, solo flight and individual decisions in the realm of foreign policy must be avoided.
“It is ironic that a regime which criticised Benazir Bhutto and PPP for meeting a former Israeli prime minister at a Socialist International Conference is now seeking the good offices of Turkey to facilitate the meeting with the foreign minister of Israel.
“The regime should apologise to the PPP leader for its earlier criticism,” he demanded. —PPI
