[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in
goodjihadis and
badjihadis as a matter of national policy...
on Sunday said that Pakistain's acquisition of nuclear power "smashed India's dreams".
Aziz was addressing a gathering of the Nazaria Pakistain Council where he also said that Pakistain's enemies would not succeed in sabotaging the Pak-China Economic Corridor (PCEC).
"Pakistain's adversaries have started their conspiracies to sabotage the Pak-China Economic Corridor, but make it clear that enemies' nefarious designs will never succeed."
He also said India's desire for regional hegemony would not be allowed, and stated that economic prosperity and self-reliance are imperative to a strong defence.
The adviser said Pakistain ─ and the entire region's future ─ was dependent on the completion of the PCEC.
Talking about the war on terrorism, Sartaj Aziz said Pakistain has to fight a war against evil ideologies, including extremism and terrorism, which are harming the country.
Aziz's assertions follow statements by the Pakistain Army that Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is involved in terrorism in Pakistain.
A May 5 conference chaired by Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif at General Headquarters "took serious notice of RAW's involvement in whipping up terrorism in Pakistain," according to a statement by Inter-Services Public Relations.
