Afghan elements perpetrating terror in Pakistan: PM.
Days after the Bacha Khan University attack in
Charsadda, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said
elements in Afghanistan are carrying out terror
attacks in Pakistan.
"We did not accuse anyone after Charsadda attack;
however, cross-border terrorism must stop," the
premier said while speaking to media in London on
Sunday.
In response to a question regarding the Pathankot
attack, the prime minister said he "personally asked
Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide us
intelligence and we will investigate it."
We are working on leads and will soon bring the
investigation before media, added the premier.
PM Nawaz vows to eradicate honour killings
Regarding the continuing National Action Plan (NAP)
against terrorism, Nawaz said the government was
implementing it across the country but admitted
progress had often been slow.
"In certain areas of NAP the progress is slow, but in
many other areas work has been started," he said.
The prime minister added that Pakistan supported
peace and stability in Afghanistan.
"The quadrilateral group is working to bring back
peace in Afghanistan as the only way out to the
Afghan conflict is through dialogue."
In response to another question, the PM said
Pakistan took the decision to mediate in the Saudi-
Iran conflict by itself, which was lauded by world
leaders.
"Effects of the mediation will soon be visible to
everyone," he added.
