LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) Central General Secretary Muhammad Ali Durrani said in a statement that American people have closed the chapter on the politics of ignorance, hatred and lies with the power of vote.

Now the people of Pakistan and India also have to end politics of hatred so that the people of the region can walk the path of development, prosperity and peace, he said.

Congratulated Joe Biden on his victory as President of the United States, Durrani said, "As President of the United States, you have to play a vital role in curbing the growing hateful, violent attitudes around the world, the world expects you to play a leading role in tearing down the walls of interfaith harmony that have been erected between people and nations."

He said that now is the time for the world to stand up for peace and protection of basic human rights. He hoped that the US President would stand with the oppressed Kashmiris in restoring their basic human rights and their right to self-determination.
