Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari declared Tuesday, Sep 25, before the United Nations that his country had suffered enough in its fight against extremist terror and should not be asked to do more.

“No country and no people have suffered more in the epic struggle against terrorism than Pakistan,” he insisted.

“To those who say we have not done enough, I say in all humility: Please do not insult the memory of our dead, and the pain of our living. Do not ask of my people what no one has ever asked of any other peoples,” he said.

“Do not demonize the innocent women and children of Pakistan. And please, stop this refrain to ‘do more’.”

Beginning his address to the UN General Assembly with a denunciation of the recent American-made movie trailer and French cartoons that insulted the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), he demanded that such material be banned worldwide. - Text and photos by Agencies.
