Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Pakistan’s positive diplomacy resulted in de-escalation between India and Pakistan after Pulwama incident.

He said that incumbent government is not oblivious to the deprivations of Balochistan and had taken great initiatives in health, education and infrastructure including Gawadar airport.

He said government has full clarity regarding the implementation of National Action Plan to its fullest for peace and stability of the country.

He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s government had found Pakistan in grey list of Financial Action Task Force FATF and now we are being pushed towards the black list but our government will do its best to avert the situation.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi urged the need for national consensus on issue of security and said it was under this spirit that he wrote letters to parliamentary leaders of different political parties and personally contacted the leaders of Pakistan Peoples' Party and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz.
