New Delhi : India’s ruling Congress party Saturday said the situation in Pakistan “is a matter of grave concern” and hoped the country would return to normal soon.
A resolution passed by the party at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session here said that all of India’s neighbours were passing through difficult internal transitions.
“The situation in Pakistan is a matter of grave concern since anarchy, terrorism and extremism have an immediate effect on us,” the resolution said. “The AICC believes in a stable, peaceful and democratic Pakistan.
“The AICC hopes that the situation in Pakistan will return to normal soon and the India-Pakistan dialogue process can be resumed with full vigour sooner than later.”
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency Nov 3. Since then, hundreds of opposition and rights activists as well as lawyers have been arrested all over the country.
