Previous Governments gave shelter to terrorists : Admits Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif

Islamabad (Pakistan) – Pakistan is known as the factory of jihadi terrorism; but it never accepted this fact. Now, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has accepted it. In a public rally, he said that the earlier Governments brought terrorism to Pakistan.

PM Sharif added that by 2018, terrorism was eradicated from Pakistan. Terrorism killed 80,000 innocent Pakistani citizens. It also caused irreparable loss to Pakistan’s economy. Terrorism was totally eliminated after Pakistani soldiers’ sacrifices. Unfortunately, one Government (Imran Khan) granted them permission to come to Pakistan a few years ago, claiming them as messengers of peace. There cannot be a higher enmity with Pakistan. (Imran Khan was the first to admit promoting jihadi terrorism in Pakistan. Terrorists were raised with funds from the USA received as an aid to help in the Afghanistan issue; however, the same money was used for carrying out terrorist activities in India. Why doesn’t Sharif say anything about the same ? – Editor)

Editorial Perspectives

  • Not only earlier but all Governments including the present Government have given shelter to terrorists. In fact, they are creating terrorists. Accepting giving shelter to terrorists is only half truth.
  • Why is Sharif not eradicating terrorism if he feels it was a mistake ? Why doesn’t he take India’s help in the matter ? It may be noted that whether Sharif or other rulers, they will take no action against terrorism and will only shed crocodile’s tears.
