Islamabad (May 14, 2018): Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi comes to defend Nawaz Sharif and said that the PML-N Quaid was misquoted by Indian media and people should not become a party in the propaganda.
After important meetings of National Security Committee (NSC) and with Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi addressed a press conference in Islamabad.
“Nawaz Sharif said that he neither said any such thing nor can it be said on the basis of assumptions that planning for the Mumbai attacks was done in Pakistan,” said the PM, who met Nawaz shortly after the NSC meeting ended.
“Indian media is giving the issue a different hue, and we should not be a part of it,” he said.
The NSC did not condemn Nawaz, but incorrect reporting of the interview, the PM clarified, referring to the earlier jointed statement by the country’s top civil-military body.
“There was no talk [by Nawaz] of the Mumbai attacks being planned in Pakistan,” Abbasi explained.
“Nawaz Sharif said that Pakistan has not permitted its soil to be used for terrorism,” he added.
“The participants observed that it was very unfortunate that the opinion arising out of either misconceptions or grievances was being presented in disregard of concrete facts and realities,” a press release issued after the meeting had said.
“The participants unanimously rejected the allegations and condemned the fallacious assertions.”
“The facts should be made public,” he added.
