Zardari urges world help against terrorism
ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari urged the international community on Monday to fully support Pakistans efforts in the war against terrorism and help it in overcoming the multitude of challenges. This is a challenge of our times and a challenge for the world. We have two wars [going on]. One is physical against militants [while the] other is to look after the displaced people. The world [must] come forward to support us, President Zardari said in an interview with Russia Today, the countrys only English television channel.
The president said the military operation in Pakistan had full public support, as the people had risen against the Taliban. He said the countrys people were in favour of democracy and were therefore supporting the governments endeavours.
