Raj | 6 years ago | Reply If the world has to believe you that, pakistan is not hostile against any country, then you should put these words into action. Take action against all terrorists including good (who are against India and Afgahnstain) and bad (who are anti-pakistan). Then there is some worth. Mere lip service is not going to help anymore.
