In response to a question about the joint statement issued during French president’s visit to India that urged only Pakistan to expedite Mumbai trial, the Spokesman said terrorism was not only India’s problem but also of Pakistan, region and the world.

The Spokesman said Pakistan had rendered enormous sacrifices while combating terrorism to make the world a safer and better place to live.

“Our sacrifices have been appreciated by the international community.”

He said it was important to do away with unsubstantiated allegations as it undermined the efforts against terrorism.

“We wish India to share the investigation into the Samjhota Express tragedy and expect it to share the report in this regard,” he said.

At present operation Zarb-e-Azb is being recognized as the biggest counter terror offensive being conducted against terrorism by a single country in the world, he said.
