Zafar greets Iranian counterpart for successful missile launch

ISLAMABAD, July 27 (APP): Senator Raja Muhammad Zafarul Haq, Federal Minster for Religious Affairs has expressed his pleasure over successful launching of 'Shahab' missile by Iran in view of its security requirements. In his message to Ali Shamkhani, Minster for Defence and Dr.Syed Ataollah Mohajerani, Minister for Culture and Islamic Guidance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on the occasion of the successful launching of Shahab, he said: "It gives me tremendous pleasure to express my unbounded pleasure in knowing the successful missile experiment which brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran has carried out, keeping in view its security requirements". This event also demonstrates that no country has any monopoly on knowledge or technical expertise nor any one has the power to decide for others their national requirements. This has also exploded the myth of some powers controlling the Universe, he said. Injustice done to weaker sections of humanity or insensitivity shown to the requirements of justice and fair play and existence of deep prejudices are the real reasons for the kind of reaction which are being felt generally around the globe but particularly by the Muslim Ummah, he said.
