Co-operation for elimination of terror to continue: FO

02 Jan, 2017

Pakistan has reiterated its commitment to continue close co-operation with international community in its collective endeavours for elimination of terrorism.
In response to queries regarding media reports on failure of the Indian move in the Security Council's 1267 Sanctions Committee, Foreign Office Spokesman Nafees Zakaria said Pakistan has made significant contribution and rendered enormous sacrifices in success of international community's efforts against terrorism.
He said that the 1267 Sanctions Committee related to ISIS/al Qaeda has rejected a politically motivated proposal by India. He said that replete with frivolous information and baseless allegations, the Indian proposal had no merit and was primarily aimed at advancing its narrow national agenda.
He said that the dismissal of this proposal is also a rejection of the Indian attempts to politicise and undermine the work of this important Committee of the Security Council.
While claiming to denounce terrorism, Zakaria said in a statement that India has in fact deployed terrorism as an instrument of state policy, and has itself been involved in perpetrating, sponsoring, supporting, and financing terrorism.
He said that the arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a RAW agent and serving officer of Indian navy, and his confession about involvement in terrorist activities aimed at destabilising Pakistan and killing or maiming of Pakistani citizens, is yet another proof of Indian sponsored terrorism in Pakistan.
