ISLAMABAD: Information Secretary of Pakistan Peoples Party’s Qamar Zaman Kaira on Wednesday said Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal was meant for deterrence and not for belligerence against any country.
He made it clear when it would come to defend the country, those weapons would be engaged for sure.
He expressed these views while commenting on Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s irresponsible statement regarding Pakistan’s nuclear assets. He said it was nothing more than a ‘cheap shot’.
Talking to a private news channel, he said Mr Qureshi, after defecting his party, was trying to win Imran Khan’s trust by unfair means.
He said every person has the right to join any political party, and Sardar Aseff Ahmed Ali left the PPP on the issue of a ministry, he added.
He said the ideological people would not leave their political parties.
The PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-N are united on the issue of a democratic system in the country, he added.
Kaira expressed the hope that the government will complete its tenure and elections will be held according to the schedule.
