Commerce Minister Khurram Dastgir has said that the continuity of democracy was only solution to all problems including terrorism.
Talking to a private TV channel, he said enemies of the country were trying to disrupt the system and peace of Pakistan but they would not succeed in their nefarious designs. He said PML-N government had never claimed that the terrorism was completely eradicated from the country but its incidents had visibly reduced through the operation Zarb-e-Azb.
International community was acknowledging that the terrorism had reduced in the country as compared to the past, he added. Dastgir said the country was facing a new challenge of terrorism in shape of recent new wave of terrorist incidents and whole nation was united against it. He said there was need to take further steps regarding war against terror to get rid of menace of terrorism.
He said the present government was making efforts to secure and protect our boundaries through the border management with Afghanistan government. The terrorists have many havens in Afghanistan and that were using against Pakistan’s peace, he added. He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had been attending the religious functions and ceremonies of the minorities for harmony among the religions.
Replying to a question, he said Afghan government could not hold full grip in their areas due to which some anti-social elements entered Pakistan to disturb peace.
