ANI Islamabad

Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor on Foreign affairs, Sartaj Aziz, said that United States (US) policies were responsible for instability in South Asia, urging the Obama administration to analyse its role and that of its allies in the region.

In retaliation to the United States President Barack Obama's recent remark that instability will continue for decades in Pakistan, Aziz said 'Pakistan's answer to instability is the strengthening democracy in the country.'

Aziz asserted that US created 'holy warriors' in our tribal areas during the 'Afghan Jihad' and then left them as soon as the war was over.

Aziz added that since 2013, Pakistan has been pursuing a policy of non-interference and is not taking part in other nation's wars.

 

Aziz further said that Pakistan has also taken a strong stance against terrorism.
