KARACHI: Sindh Governor Dr Ishrat-ul- Ebad Khan has said that extremism has created a negative image of Pakistan abroad.
Talking to a delegation of Ulema, which called on him here at the Governor House Monday, the Governor said that foreign investment and other international affairs were affected due to the negative image.

The delegation of ulema led by Tariq Mehmood assured the Governor of their full cooperation for promoting harmony and tolerance among the people.
