Summary Fighting mindsets key to winning the war against terrorism, he said.
LONDON (Dunya News) – Former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said that PPP paid a heavy price for democracy by losing former chairperson Benazir Bhutto. He said that war against terrorism can be won by fighting the mindsets, adding that his party wants better relations with the neighbour countries, Dunya News reported.
Addressing the media after PPP leaders’ meeting in London, Zardari said that losing against terrorism is not an option and that the mindsets have to be fought with in order to win the war against terrorism.
Zardari said PPP fought the dictatorship for 10 years, adding that it was for the first time that a democratic government completed its tenure in Pakistan while continuing reconciliation with the allies.
Talking about Indo-Pak relations, former president said that dialogue is critical for resolution of problems. He said PPP wants to highlight Kashmir dispute as well but the Indian government, he said, is not willing to step forward for talks.
PPP leaders discussed important issues including the ongoing political situation in the country, appointment of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) among other party matters.
