All the minorities enjoy equal rights in the country. Army Chief Gen Asim Munir is on official visit of US and he has held important meetings with the authorities therein. Pakistan will participate in conference on Palestine which is scheduled for December 23 in Tehran.

Pakistan will continue to extend support to Kashmiris at political and diplomatic level, this was said by Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, at weekly press briefing here on Thursday.

Pakistan has called for holding Israel accountable for its actions and urged the United Nations Security Council to take immediate effective action to impose a ceasefire and lift the inhumane siege against Gaza.

She said the crimes against humanity in occupied Palestine are a haunting stain on the conscience of humanity.

The Spokesperson said Pakistan is also deeply concerned over the recent statements made by senior Israeli officials, rejecting the creation of a viable and independent Palestinian state.

She said such statements, especially the comments on the “Oslo Accords”, reflect the true intentions of the Israeli occupation authorities, their disregard for International law and commitments and rejection of a just resolution of the Palestinian question.

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan firmly believes that the only just solution to the Palestinian question is the creation of an independent, viable, sovereign and contiguous Palestinian State along pre-June 1967 borders with Al-Quds-Al-Sharif as its capital.

Replying to a question, the spokesperson said Pakistan is deeply concerned about use of sophisticated arms and ammunition by a terrorist organization like Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
She said collaborated actions by the international community are required to deal with the TTP threat.

Answering another question, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan expects from the Afghan authorities to take effective measures against terrorists groups, especially TTP, operating on Afghan soil.
She added that Islamabad is also concerned over Indian involvement in supporting and fanning terrorists and their activities inside Pakistan.
The Spokesperson said Indian network of terrorism has now been expanded globally beyond South Asia.
