Fighting for Pakistan survival: Defence Minister
SIALKOT: Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif says the government is fighting for the country’s survival.
Speaking at a function here, Khawaja Asif warned that Pakistan was at great danger if talks with the Taliban failed and the economy did not improve.
Pakistan’s talks with Taliban militants have entered into the second phase and a meeting between the government committee and Taliban shura is expected to take place soon.
The government has dissolved its first four member committee tasked with holding peace talks and formed a new one to take the process forward.
Asif said the country was passing through a critical phase, adding that credit should be given to Nawaz Sharif as the judiciary would not have been restored had he not come out onto the streets.
