Gen Pervez Musharraf said here on Friday that Pakistan faced the biggest threat to its security from sectarian and religious extremism and terrorism within the country, and vowed to eliminate such tendencies.
Speaking at the induction of the first indigenously built French origin Agosta 90B submarine "Saad" at the PN Dockyard, President Musharraf claimed that country's defence was impregnable and no external threat could endanger its security.
"Internal chaos, sectarianism, and religious extremism and religious terrorism constitute a bigger threat owing to which the Muslim Ummah is suffering and the economy of Muslim states is being negatively affected," he said.
He called for joint and concerted efforts to eradicate extremism and terrorism, and said no one had the right to question anyone's belief and decide who was a better Muslim.
