Fawad advises Modi to contest elections on ‘performance’

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry has advised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to contest elections on performance not on anti-Pakistan slogans, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

Apprising the news men after attending the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s parliamentary party meeting at the Parliament house, he said Pakistan strongly denounced the Indian blame game.

He contended that the foreign ministry reacted promptly after the Pulwama attack and now the Indian side is in ‘isolation’, not Pakistan.

“Statements coming from European Union, President Trump show India failing to catch International attention,” he continued.

He relayed that Prime Minister Imran Khan has extended Pakistan’s support to India to probe into the Pulwama attack as we do not want to escalate tensions in the region.

Warning India to restrain from any misadventure, the minister said Pakistan will retaliate in befitting manner over any cross-border aggression.

He said the parliamentary party also expressed concerns over increasing attacks over Kashmris and urged the International community to take steps on the war footing and protect the innocent Kashmiris.

Shedding light on the under trial case of Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav at the International Court of Justice formally known as (ICJ), the minister said Pakistan has pleaded its strong case in this regard.
