NATO strike, a direct assault on national sovereignty: Firdous Ashiq

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Saturday that NATO aggression on two Pakistani Army boder posts, was a direct assault on the sovereignty of the country. Talking to mediapersons at Rafi Peer Theatre after the launch of a TV series for children here, she said the Pakistan government would take up the issue on an appropriate forum as Armed Forces were not only the defenders of national geographical boundaries but also constitutional borders. She said the people were struggling against the mindset of extremism which was trying to create instability in the country, and added education was the only solution to this problem. The sovereignty of the country was the top priority of government, she said and added no government could tolerate any attack its territories. We are working with our coalition partners for the implementation of resolutions of Parliament on terrorism, she said.
