Mideast situation: Chandio urges govt to exercise caution

KARACHI: Sindh Information Advisor Moula Bux Chandio has asked the PML-N government to take all parliamentary parties into confidence over Pakistan’s decision to become part of the Saudi-led 34-nation military alliance against Da’ish. “The sectarian divide is already widening and intensifying in Pakistan,” Chandio said talking to the media on Thursday. Before taking any decision in the wake of Saudi foreign minister’s visit the federal government should put this issue in parliament, he said adding that unilateral decision and policies being imposed by the federal government can take the country to a point of no return. Chandio suggested federal government to look into internal situation of the country before joining any military alliance.
