Pakistan supports giving peace chance: Fawad
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry said on Wednesday Pakistan supports giving peace a chance as no one of us is desirous of war.
Speaking at a conference, he said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has also mentioned in his address to the nation that initiating war is easy but it will go beyond calculations.
The minister said sane voices are coming from India that there should be no war to gain political objectives. He said today #saynotowar became a top trend on social media in India. He expressed the hope that peace will prevail, which will be in the best interest of both the countries and the world.
Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said no religion teaches violence. He said there is no room for extremism in Islam. He said Pakistan has successfully tackled irregular conflicts by rendering over 70,000 lives, which indicates our society's strong resilience.
He said Pakistan has defeated terrorism and now it will stand successful in tackling the issue of extremism.
Earlier, the PAF shot down two Indian aircraft and arrested two pilots. Director General of the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor addressed a press conference moments earlier and said Pakistan wants peace and India needs to understand war is a failure of policy.
On Tuesday, Indian military aircraft violated the LoC as they “intruded” from the Muzaffarabad sector and were forced to return owing to the timely response of the Pakistan Air Force.
