President Asif Ali Zardari while strongly condemning the violence in Karachi, which caused loss of precious human lives, said on Wednesday it is time to exhibit national unity. Spokesperson former Senator Farhatullah said that the President who is travelling on foreign visit has called upon the provincial chief minister to call a meeting of all the stakeholders at the earliest to hammer out a solution and prevent the violence from spreading.
The President said that the nation could ill afford violence in Karachi at a time when it was already dealing with the militants in northern parts of the country. Zardari said that the on going fight against militants called for a national consensus and for all political parties to join hands. The violence as witnessed in Karachi on Wednesday would only give space to the militants and distract from the national effort aimed at defeating the extremists.
"We will foil the designs of those who want to exploit the situation by creating and promoting political and ethnic difference." National unity at this hour is the best way to demonstrate our will to keep Pakistan as moderate, modern and democratic state where the rights of all citizens are protected, the President said. The President also condoled with the families of all those killed and injured in the violence.-PR
