ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani on Wednesday urged West not to link terrorism with one particular religion as it cannot be linked with one geographic area, religion or ethnicity.
“Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. The West should not link terrorism with one particular religion as the terrorism cannot be linked with one geographic area, religion or ethnicity,” he said during a meeting with Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman, Yemeni journalist, politician and senior member of Al-Islah Political Party and Human Rights activist.
Mian Raza Rabbani further said that the western countries need to eliminate the rise of various racial and other discriminatory practices against Muslims and also need to review their selective implications of human rights’ violations and double standards for Palestine and Kashmir which have aggravated some of the underlying ingredients of terrorism.
He informed Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate that how Pakistan is passing through a transitional phase of consolidating the democratic roots after a long and audacious journey.
The Chairman termed the 18th Constitutional Amendment a breakthrough in the constitutional history of the country which has led Pakistan to practicing participatory federalism.
Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman said that she is really inspired by democratic struggle in Pakistan and achievements made on war against terrorism.
Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman is the first Yemeni, the first Arab woman and the second Muslim woman to win a Noble Prize. She is also the second youngest Nobel Peace Laureate to date.
