‘India eyes Sir Creek strip for oil deposits’
KARACHI:** India has its eyes on the Sir Creek strip and has staked the claim on the strip in the Arabian Sea as its territory because of the presence of huge oil deposits there, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Abdullah Hussain Haroon said on Friday.**
Addressing a press conference at his residence, Haroon said Pakistan should react responsibly and in a dignified manner with no compromise on its sovereignty.
He said the government provided all possible support and facilities to the investigation team probing former president Benazir Bhutto’s murder. The UN Investigation Commission was scheduled to visit Pakistan next month, Haroon added.
Time: He said it was time to bring visible changes in Pakistan, as a 60-year-old system in the country was not feasible anymore.
Regarding the world’s concern over Pakistan’s future, Haroon said the country’s future was bright and Pakistan only needed financial support to exploit its resources.
