Minister for Defence Khurram Dastgir on Tuesday said that Pakistan has rejected the declaration released by member countries at the BRICS Summit, and asserted there are no ‘safe havens’ for terrorists in Pakistan.
Khurram Dastgir expressed his views while addressing a meeting of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Defence, and claimed that 40% of Afghanistan is a safe hideout for militants.
The minister told that Pakistan’s defence is in strong hands, and unnecessary threats are being raised after US President Donald Trump’s statements against Pakistan.
Dastgir further stated that any wrong step of America can take this region towards instability. He also let it be known that Pakistan will soon clarify its policy regarding Rohingya Muslims.
