Referring to the sacrifices rendered by Pakistan in the war against terrorism, Qamar Zaman Kaira said Pakistan is passing through a very difficult time of history.  Pakistan has achieved some major success in this war but these elements continue to breed.  These terrorists want to impose their agenda on the majority and we can only foil their designs with collective wisdom and action.

The information minister said democracy is the only solution to fight terrorism and establish a tolerant society. All the political parties of Pakistan will have to stand united for success in this war.  He said Pakistan believes in the dialogue process to address this issue.

Meanwhile, he thanked the Gulf countries for standing by Pakistan at every hour of trial including natural calamities.

Kaira further said the solution to all the problems lies only in democracy. He said there is a need to promote tolerance and patience in the society.

The information minister said it is bad luck that country has been divided into political, regional and religious factions.  He said we will have to make the country secure for the sake of our children.

He said after the soviet intervention conditions had worsened in the region and the entire civilized world had supported our dictators. He said peaceful conditions in Pakistan and Afghanistan are in the best interest of the entire region. He urged the international community to cooperate us in fight against terrorism and extremism. He said Taliban want to impose their mindset on us, adding that Gulf States always helped Pakistan.
