He said use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy by India makes it culpable under international law, UN sanctions regime, and international counter-terrorism conventions.
Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri remarked that it is the collective responsibility of the world community to hold India to account and take practical steps to proceed against the Indian nationals involved in patronage of terrorism against Pakistan.
The Spokesperson said Pakistan’s credentials in the fight against terrorism did not need endorsement by India. Pakistan’s sacrifices and its achievements in fighting terrorism have been recognized by the world.
Use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy by India makes it culpable under international law, UN sanctions regime, and international counter-terrorism conventions.
