Islamabad: President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has said that South Asia cannot be secure until Kashmir is liberated from Indian occupation.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, President Asif Ali Zardari addressing the joint session of Parliament in Islamabad today, urged India to shift from war theatres to meaningful negotiations or face another humiliating defeat. He warned that Pakistan had already shown both India and Afghanistan only a fraction of its capabilities.<\/p>\n

He said Pakistan will continue to give its fullest diplomatic and moral support to the just cause of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

He deliberated on all national, regional, and international matters, including the Kashmir and Palestine issues, ongoing tension in the Gulf region, Marka-e-Haq and Ghazab lil-Haq operations, Indian violation of the Indus Waters Treaty, economy, provincial autonomy, and poverty.<\/p>\n

Regarding Marka-e-Haq, he said that Pakistan initially showed restraint amid Indian violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, but later its armed forces acted with outstanding professionalism and discipline, turning India’s attack into a landmark strategic victory.<\/p>\n

Similarly, responding to the attacks by the Afghan Taliban regime on the night of February 26, the armed forces acted decisively.<\/p>\n

Coming to the Pakistan-US ties, the president appreciated the efforts of the countries to de-escalate the recent Pakistan-India conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
