Pakistani FM Warns of Dangerous Trend of Growing Islamophobia

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Pakistan’s foreign minister urged the nation to stand united to thwart the designs of enemy forces that were bent upon creating unrest and instability in the country, warning that the growing trend of Islamophobia was dangerous.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Sunday said anti-Pakistan elements were trying to create economic stagnation in the country through their geostrategic agenda.

“Many forces don’t want to see prosperity in Pakistan.” He urged the masses to defeat the nefarious designs of the enemy by forging unity among themselves, adding that the growing trend of Islamophobia was dangerous and poisonous for peace and declared that unity was the need of the hour.

Qureshi maintained that Pakistan had a very important geostrategic position in the region. He said many forces were persecuting innocent Muslims in Kashmir and Palestine.

Qureshi added that the neighboring country Afghanistan was facing a difficult situation, and that sustainable peace in Afghanistan was not only a desire but a top priority for sake of regional peace.

He said stability and peace in Afghanistan would mean stability and prosperity of Pakistan.

Qureshi added that Pakistan has invited foreign ministers of Muslim countries for holding a comprehensive discussion on Afghanistan under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan for the prosperity and lasting peace in Afghanistan.
