Islamabad, June 26 (IANS) Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik Saturday said that had the Taliban taken over Pakistan, their next targets would have been India and Bangladesh.
Malik’s claim came during an interaction with media persons at the conclusion of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) interior ministers meet, Online news agency reported.
He said Pakistan was conducting investigation into the 26/11 Mumbai attack in a transparent manner.
Malik warned the terror forces that SAARC member countries would foil their nefarious designs through their joint efforts. Asserting terrorists would have to face defeat, he said every religion upholds the message of peace while the non-state actors have no religion or boundaries.
Terrorists would not be allowed to exploit the name of religion, he added.
Malik stressed Pakistan would not allow its soil to be used against any other country, adding if any terrorist or non-state actor would try to do so, then stern action would be initiated against them.
