Senator Ishaq Dar claimed on Sunday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s strategy of “appeasing and rehabilitating” extremist groups contributed to the return of terrorism, as the nation was taking retaliatory action in response to a recent wave of assaults.
According to a statement released today, Dar, the nation’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, made these comments while interacting with British legislators who are of Pakistani descent at a luncheon given by High Commissioner Dr. Mohammad Faisal at Pakistan House in London.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, Nusrat Ghani, Yasmin Qureshi (MP), Mohammad Afzal Khan (MP), Naseem Shah (MP), Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Baroness Shaista Gohir, Lord Qurban Hussain, Baroness Nosheen Mubarak, and Lord Zameer Chaudhry were present at the dinner.
