Khurshid asks govt to take ‘Indian aggression’ seriously
ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khurshid Ahmed Shah has expressed concern over “growing Indian aggression” against Pakistan and urged the government to effectively raise the issue at international forums.
He criticised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its alleged failure to take up the issue of India’s continuing “interference” in Pakistan with the international community.
“Indian aggression along the country’s borders is on the rise day by day. Pakistan should ask the world to look at what India has been doing,” he said in a statement issued on Thursday.
The opposition leader’s remarks come three days before national security advisers of Pakistan and India start their two-day talks in New Delhi.
Mr Shah, who belongs to the main opposition PPP, said that India in recent days had become “active” in its efforts to “destabilise” Pakistan, adding that it was time for the civil and military leadership of the country to sit together to devise a strategy to deal with the Indian designs.
