Imran Khan: Not In Pakistan’s Interest To Allow Use Of Its Territory For Terror Acts indianexpress.com
On a day his Pakistan-e-Tehreek government completed 100 days in power, Pakistan Chief Minister Imran Khan for the first time addressed the issue of terrorism, which has been a thorn in the resumption of bilateral dialogue with India. Asserting that it was not in Pakistan’s interest to allow the use of its territory for terror acts on other countries, Khan said the people now wanted peace with India.

“It is not in our interest to allow the use of Pakistan’s territory for terror outside. People in Pakistan want peace with India. The mindset of people here has changed,” Khan said. Interestingly, Khan’s comments on terrorism come just a day after Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj made it clear that India would not attend the SAARC summit in Islamabad “until and unless” Pakistan stopped sponsoring terror.
On Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, Khan said, “There are UN sanctions against Hafiz Saeed. There is already a clampdown on the JuD chief.”
