When asked about reports that Islamic extremist groups
might take advantage of this opportunity to win over hearts
and minds, Qureshi said this will not happen.
"I think what we saw today and the UN will not permit
them to take advantage of the situation.
"I think the international community is now
forthcoming and the international community is responding and
they are responding quickly, and we will not allow them
(extremist groups) to exploit that situation," Qureshi said.
Meanwhile, the US has said it will not tolerate
corruption in distribution of aid and flood relief work in the
flood-hit country.
"We will not tolerate corruption. The assistance that
we are providing is for the people of Pakistan. We want to see
this assistance get directly to the people of Pakistan," State
Department spokesman P J Crowley said amidst concerns being
expressed in the US media about the high level corruption in
aid distribution in Pakistan. PTI BS/LKJ
