Islamabad concerned over genocide of Indian Muslims
By Our Diplomatic Correspondent

ISLAMABAD—People of Pakistan have grave concern over the killing of Muslims in post-Godhra train carnage in Gujarat, said Foreign Office Spokesman M. Sadiq on Monday. The Foreign Office Spokesman stated this while addressing a weekly briefing at the Foreign Office.
An Indian weekly recently claimed it had ‘irrefutable’ evidence that the killing of Muslims post-Godhra train carnage in Gujarat was ‘not a spontaneous swell of anger but a genocide’ planned and executed by top functionaries of the Sangh Parivar and state authorities with the sanction of Chief Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the truth should be unveiled in front of the entire world regarding open killings in Indian state Gujrat.
Strongly refuting the report of “News Week” in which Pakistan was declared more dangerous country than Iraq, the Foreign Office spokesman termed the report as baseless and concocted. He said that false image of Pakistan is presented in “News Week” adding that we are on road to progress stressing that Pakistan stands significant in all the other countries with a population of nearly 160 million people.
Replying to a question, FO Spokesman categorically cleared that Pakistan has no pressure whatsoever regarding the thorny matter relating to the return of Former PM Mian Nawaz Sharif adding that it is virtually a habit of European Union (EU) to pass a resolution. Replying to a question, he said that negative results would occur following US sanctions against Iran urging that despite the sanction Pak- Iran-India gas pipeline will move forward.
He said that next Conference of SAARC Interior Ministerial would be held in Islamabad. Answering yet another question, Foreign Office Spokesman M Sadiq said that we will not invite Observers of any country to review the general elections, if any country wants to be Observer then we will positively review it.
