SRINAGAR, May 10: Former Chief Minister and Member Parliament Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that a destabilised Pakistan is dangerous for all countries, including India.
This, he said, while speaking to reporters here a day after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan was arrested in a corruption case.
“A destabilised Pakistan is dangerous for all countries including our own country. We want a stronger and a democratic Pakistan where democracy flourishes, which will also improve its relations with India,” Dr Abdullah said.
The NC president said the internal situation in Pakistan was “very dangerous” and its economic condition was also very bad.
“Heavy floods hit the region last year, and many areas are still impacted by that. The people there are still suffering. In such circumstances, the situation turning like this is more dangerous,” he said.
Abdullah said while the situation in the neighbouring country was dangerous, it had a history of such events.
“If you look at Pakistan’s history, since independence, the first PM was assassinated, then (Zulfiqar Ali) Bhutto was hanged, then his daughter Benazir Bhutto fell to bullets. Now, Imran Khan is the fourth former PM, who has been now jailed. I pray to God that his life is saved,” he added.
