Pak suffers from its own wrong policies: Azad
Jammu: Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Thursday
said rulers in Pakistan had made their country an "epicentre
of terror" and that the present turmoil in the neighbouring
nation was a result of the "wrong policies" of its army and
various governments.
"Pakistan rulers created Frankenstein's monster and made
their country epicentre of terror two decades before. Now they
are facing the same monster," Azad, the Union Minister for
Health and Family Welfare, said.
Pakistan had encouraged terrorist attacks and whatever
is happening in Pakistan is the direct consequence of wrong
policies of their army and rulers, he said at a function on
'Shaheedi Divas' organised to pay tributes to martyrs of
Kargil war.
Since 1947, Pakistan had been making attempts to foment
violence in the region and had patronised infiltrators to
enter our country, the minister alleged.
"The terrorists were encouraged by powers across the
border to infiltrate and cause damage to socio-religious
fabric of Jammu and Kashmir," Azad, the former chief minister,
said at Kathua, about 80-kms from here.
He said India always believed in resolving all issues
through dialogue and in an atmosphere of peace.
Talks on various levels, including between the prime
ministers of both the countries, had resulted in the opening
of Srinagar-Muzaffarabad and Poonch-Rawlakote roads and cross
LoC trade, he said.
