ISLAMABAD : Adviser to Prime Minister on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira has said the whole nation stands resolutely with its security forces to root out the menace of terrorism.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Monday, Qamar Zaman Kaira said the recent acts of terrorism in different parts of the country were condemnable but they can neither shake our resolve nor thwart the hard earned gains of peace.

He lamented the lack of effective new policies and discontinuity of existing ones during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI’s) tenure.

Qamar Zaman Kaira said difference of opinion was part of democracy but it should not reach the level of hatred or polarization in the society.

Slamming the former prime minister and Chairman PTI Imran Khan’s statement about the Foreign Minister’s tours, Qamar Zaman Kaira said the visits to different countries were not personal rather they were part of State’s policy of enhanced engagement with our friendly countries.
