| 2013-12-19 |
| [Pak Daily Times] President Mamnoon Hussain on Wednesday urged the nation to stand united and support government's efforts for countering extremism and terrorism. Addressing a grand tribal jirga at the Presidency, the president lauded the people of tribal areas for being at the forefront in the war against terrorism and confronting difficulties with courage, determination and patience. He said terrorism had not only damaged the national economy and brought a bad name to the country but also maligned Islam -- a religion of peace and security. The nation would have to rise above petty differences and strive hard to highlight the peaceful identity of Islam and Pakistain, he added. The president said he firmly believed that the people of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) were fully aware of their duties towards the country and would continue to use all their energies in the best national interests. "Pakistain is our motherland and it is our obligation to ensure its security and protection," said Mamnoon Hussain. |
