Shahid Khaqan Abbasi elucidates Nawaz Sharif's 26/11 comment

Islamabad, May 15 Clarifying his ancestor Nawaz Sharif 's late explanation about the Mumbai attacks, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday requested the resistance people not to put the nation's national security in jeopardy for earning brownie points politically.

"I can state with assurance that nobody in Parliament has perused the daily paper meeting of the previous chief of which a furore is being made," Geo News cited Abbasi as saying while at the same time talking in Parliament.

A week ago, amid a meeting with the Dawn, Sharif had expressed that "Aggressor associations are dynamic. Call them non-state on-screen characters, would it be advisable for us to enable them to cross the fringe and execute 150 people in Mumbai Disclose it to me. For what reason wouldn't we be able to finish the trial?"

"We have segregated ourselves. Regardless of giving penances, our account isn't being acknowledged. Afghanistan's story is being acknowledged, yet our own isn't. We should investigate it," he included.

His comments were quickly gotten by Indian media, which named the previous head administrator's announcement as a confession of Pakistan's role in the Mumbai attacks that left 166 people dead.

It is unacceptable that Nawaz is being branded as a traitor, Abbasi highlighted.

"Party leaders should make statements in view of realities," he noted, specifying no one needs a testament of patriotism from anybody.

Pakistan's head even expressed that Nawaz did not state or infer that the Mumbai attackers were sent from Pakistan deliberately. "In any case, India made that impression by misreporting the interview."
