Former Foreign Minister and Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, has urged the international community to look to Pakistan\u2019s security forces as a model in the fight against terrorism, citing successful operations like Zarb-e-Azb and Radd-ul-Fasaad that, he said, \u201ccrippled terrorist networks\u201d and significantly improved the country\u2019s internal security. Speaking at an international conference in Islamabad titled \u2018Pakistan\u2019s War Against Terrorism\u2019 on Wednesday, Bilawal delivered a strong message to both domestic and global audiences, asserting that Pakistan will never bow to terrorists. He reaffirmed the country\u2019s firm stance in the fight against extremism, stating, \u201cSurrender is not a word in Pakistan\u2019s dictionary.\u201d He stressed that terrorism is a global issue that demands coordinated international action. Highlighting the sacrifices Pakistan has made, Bilawal reminded the world that the country has lost over 90,000 lives in its war against terror and suffered major economic setbacks. \u201cPakistan has paid a heavy price\u2014both in blood and in resources,\u201d he said. Bilawal also raised concerns over the rising threat of digital terrorism, describing it as one of the most complex security challenges of the modern era. He called on Silicon Valley to reform its algorithms to help counter online extremism, stating, \u201cProtecting future generations requires us to address this evolving threat now.\u201d Touching on regional dynamics, Bilawal emphasized the shared responsibility of neighboring countries\u2014particularly Afghanistan and India\u2014in ensuring regional stability. In a bold call for unity against terrorism, he even extended a proposal for cooperation with both the Hindutva-led Modi government and the Taliban\u2019s interim regime in Afghanistan to collectively combat extremism. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
