War no more remains an option. Pakistan is a nuclear power. But this power is not meant to use against any other. Our neighbors should understand to live with peace. Meaningful talks should be held for addressing the problems, he said this while addressing the inaugural session of “Pakistan Minerals Summit” in Islamabad Tuesday.

NAB kept on subjecting the people to political victimization, he held.

He remarked the society has divided unfortunately. Poison has been poured into minds of people.

Can any work be done for the development of country in this situation, he questioned.

Its answer is “No”, he added.

We did not focus on the precious wealth of our country in the last 75 years. Were we hesitant due to some cartel or political reason.

He underlined we should work for public interest and against the poverty.

Today is a propitious day; he said adding nature has bestowed natural resources worth trillion dollars on Pakistan. We did not pay attention to natural wealth during the last 75 years.
