SIALKOT: Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani said the Modi government had miserably failed internally in India and was now trying to divert world’s attention from the ongoing riots in state of Gujarat by resorting to shelling on Pakistani territory.

He was talking to newsmen at Sialkot Combine Military Hospital (CMH) here on Sunday after inquiring about those injured in Indian shelling on Working Boundary villages.

He said Pakistan had always wanted durable peace and good relations with its neighbours, including India to promote the durable peace in the region.

Mr Rabbani said the Pakistan armed forces had the full capabilities to defend the motherland “if any war was imposed on us by India”.

He added that the whole Pakistani nation, the parliament and the armed forces were on a single page against the ongoing Indian aggression. It was the time that India should learn lesson of peace, he added.

Mr Rabbani urged the world community to take serious notice of the Indian aggression, besides, using its influence to halt the repeated ceasefire violations by India along the Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary.

He said the silence of world community and UN over Indian aggression showed their dual standards.

He said it would be a blunder on part of India to dream of regional supremacy by killing innocent Pakistanis.

AJK PM: Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhary Abdul Majeed has said the AJK people were ready to sacrifice their lives to defend Pakistan against any India aggression.

He was talking at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) to those injured in Indian shelling. He said AJK people and government fully supported Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif’s mission of purging Pakistan of militancy.

PPP stalwart and former information minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan and other party leaders were also present on the occasion.

The AJK premier strongly condemned the larger-scale hostilities committed by Indian BSF along the Working Boundary.

Dr Awan said there would be no compromise on the solemnity and integrity of Pakistan.

Later, addressing a meeting of Kashmiri people here, Mr Majeed urged the UN to ensure early implementation of its resolutions for a peaceful solution of Kashmir dispute as per Kashmiri people’s aspiration.

Earlier, talking to newsmen here, Chaudhry Abdul Majeed said Pakistan’s political and economical stability could boost the Kashmir cause world over.

He urged all main stream political parties in Pakistan to get united for the political and economic stability of Pakistan, which was vital to strengthening Kashmir cause globally.
