this news update by www.topnews.in
NAUDERO: President Asif Ali Zardari said Saturday that dialogue was the only way to solve the problems confronting the region, amid heightened tensions with India in the wake of the Mumbai attacks.

"Dialogue is our biggest arsenal," Zardari told ministers and lawmakers at the family home in Naudero of his dead wife, former premier Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated one year ago in a gun and suicide attack.

"The solution to the problem of the region...is politics, is dialogue and is democracy in Pakistan, because democracy is part of the cure and not part of the problem," Zardari said in a speech carried live on ARY OneWorld.

Zardari warned the international community that terrorists were forcing their agenda on India and Pakistan.

“Yes, we have non-state actors. They are forcing their agenda on us. Please do not fall a victim (to them), because you will be the victim, we will be the victim, the region will be the victim,” he said.

President said Pakistan is afflicted with the “cancer” of terrorism which should be cured through democracy as it is a panacea for all ills.

Besides Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, PPP leaders from across the country, federal ministers, provincial ministers and parliamentarians were present on the occasion.

Zardari lauded the next US leadership's view of a regional cure to terrorism to which Pakistan itself has been a victim.

"I also commend the new thought that is emanating from the next government in the USA for a regional cure to this menace.”

He said "we ourselves have accepted that we have a cancer. We have ourselves accepted we have a problem. Yes we will cure it. We will solve this problem and correct these things".(
