The president said that Afghanistan had given immense sacrifices and its people required much needed peace and stability  

To a query, he reiterated Pakistan’s principled position that Afghans had to take decision for their future. 

About Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) situation, he said that Indian government through its most controversial Citizenship Act had isolated its minorities .  

Situation in IIOJK was not good and the whole world had focused on it, he said, adding what was happening in IIOJK was also a part of Islamophobia.
