WASHINGTON: People of Pakistan deserve to practice their faith without fear in the wake of prolonged terrorism in their country, said State Department spokesperson Mathew Miller.
He stated this in the context of terrorism incidents in different parts of Pakistan, the later being the suicide attack in Mastung that left over 60 people dead.
“People of Pakistan have suffered tremendously from terrorist attacks. They deserve to practice their faith without fear.”
In response to a reporter’s question, Mathew Miller said US cooperates with Pakistan in a range of multilateral platforms on issues including terrorist designations and global strategies to defeat terrorist groups.
“We will continue to work with Pakistan to ensure that we can better assist Pakistan’s effort to counter all forms of violent extremism.”
About Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder in Canada in June this year, he said the US have engaged with the Indian government on several occasions to urge them to cooperate with Canada’s investigation.
