<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>As for country’s image abroad the less said the better. While slogans of enlightened moderation are raised off and on, extremism and sectarianism keep rising.

The world associates <span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>terrorism with the very name : Pakistan. We are humiliated both by India and Afghanistan for exporting terrorist elements across the borders. Our protestations fall on deaf-ears, as the rest of the world would rather believe in the allegations hurled at us by our neighbours. Tragically enough, we have messed up our case on Kashmir and seriously damaged the cause of the hapless Kashmiris struggling for their acknowledged right of self-determination.</span></b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
