While speaking to veteran journalist, Karan Thapar, the external affairs minister also emphasised that though he has faith in President Zardari, the Pakistani government hasn't done much to back this trust.

He backs this trust by saying, "I believe in his desire to fight against terrorism, but at the same time my belief is not adequate, it must be backed by action taken by the government and authorities of Pakistan."
