Pakistan disappointed by US reliance on false narrative

[Aasimkhan]

I heard Americans are going to release the names or army officers who are dealing and supporting taliban with clips .

Ha ha, first they should see the video clips of Kalboshan Yadov. We all know what drama CIA,RAW and Afghan intelligence are staging. Clips and names dont matter. National policies dont change by seeing clips. CIA is notorious for producing fabricated pictures as they did with pics of Iraq's WMDs. Its time we said good bye to US friendship for ever. Americans are double crossers.

It's like the Pakistani foreign ministry has the same template that it always uses. Just change the date and name & send it to the press. Abject incompetence. These sorts of statement insinuate that pakistan is guilty of the allegations leveled against it. Makes an entire country of 200 million seem like a teenage boy trying to get into the good graces of his elders. Extremely shameful stuff.

Agreed. Its a pity a nation of tigers is being led by a jackal like NS/PMLN.

Whether we support Taliban or not we will never allow India to dominate Afghanistan. Not in next one million years at least. Even if we have to NUKE India we will do it.


Trump knows it already. He hasnt opened his mouth since North Korea threatened a nuclear strike on Guam. Dogs like trump will keep barking only as long as we have weak leadership like PMLN.

North Koreans can only threaten. they do not have the balls to start a war

India wants Afghanistan to be out of pakistani domination

Pakistani politics is complete joke. Why don't b52 bombers first get rid of these chakkay Pakistani politicians.

Trump's voice is not the voice of Americans. Even the US military would focus on having good alliance with Pakistan. Not to confuse entire US military by few trump's appointed representatives.

Pakistan is the only country in the world that have sacrificed tremendously due to terrorism. The same terrorism that was once used by US and EU against Soviets and they left poor Pakistan to deal with it. Instead of fooling American public, Trump administration should focus on having proper strategy on Afghanistan, this clownliness is not working.

To be fair, this is not Trump's policy. It's a policy that was long in the making and is as much Obama's policy as it's Trump's. When your country sends Husain Haqqani type traitors to represent its national interest, this sorts of policies shouldn't come as a surprise. In fact, Haqqani's input made it to this policy formulation. He's written opinion pieces that were well championed by the drafters if this new policy. The failure of your country to check the excess if Haqqani type politicians ( and there are many) shows the abject failure of your establishment. Haqqani is not alone. There are many like him both active and inactive and your establishment looks the other way. It calls for introspection

It was not a random tweet from his personal account, It was a change in policy
Bureaucrats are the ones making policy not the politicians, politicians can only prioritize / delay / discard policiys not make it.

Modi dosenot know anything about demonetization or its repercussions, similarly Nawaz is clueless about implementation and long term vision on CPEC. Politicians only read official statements prepared b some one else

you are 100% right. Traitors like Haqqani brought this day. However challenging it has become the circumstances will improve for Pakistan, now that the cat's back has ultimately come against the wall Pakistan will have to prove that when the shit-hits-the-fan they are up to it. Its a make or break stage. Personally i am sure USA is in no position to make new nuclear armed enemies.

I told you dont fire from hip. Read the war history. China was not even part of war when it started.

Pakistan disappointed by US reliance on false narrative

ISLAMABAD: In a toughened up stance, Pakistan on Tuesday expressed disappointment over the US Afghan policy which it said “ignores the enormous sacrifices rendered by the Pakistani nation” urging Washington to work with Islamabad against terrorism “instead of relying on false narrative of safe havens.”

The hard-hitting statement came as initial reaction from the Foreign Office in response to US President Donald Trump’s recently announced Afghan policy that aims at targeting Pakistan to ‘do more’ in its counterterrorism drive.

“No country in the world has done more than Pakistan to counter the menace of terrorism. No country in the world has suffered more than Pakistan from the scourge of terrorism, often perpetrated from outside our borders. It is, therefore disappointing that the US policy statement ignores the enormous sacrifices rendered by the Pakistani nation in this effort,” the statement came following a crucial cabinet huddle with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi that discussed the issue.

“As a matter of policy, Pakistan does not allow use of its territory against any country. Instead of relying on the false narrative of safe havens, the US needs to work with Pakistan to eradicate terrorism.”

Trump tough talk unlikely to move Pakistan

It said: “Pakistan reiterates its view that there is no exclusive military solution to the crisis in Afghanistan. The military action during the last 17 years has not brought peace to Afghanistan, and it is not likely to do so in the future. Only an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned politically negotiated solution can lead to sustainable peace in Afghanistan.”

The statement added that the threat to peace and security could not be isolated from the complex interplay of geopolitics, continued existence of festering disputes and pursuit of hegemonic policies. Non-resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains the primary obstacle to peace and stability in the region.

Pakistan had proposed to mine the border with Afghanistan. That would have solved the issue of cross birding... But all great democracies opposed to this proposition....

Had our solution been accepted, USA wouldn't be where they are today...

This could have part of our foraieen joker minister sahab official reply. But what could be expected from oolooh Kay pathey sey ?

Why would terrorist sponsoring NATO want to mine the border?

They beat up on antiquated South Korean army. North Koreans were routed by UN forces
they lost their entire country to the UN forces in a matter of weeks

Weeks? War lasted 4 years. South Korea was not antiquated North Korea was. If they were routed by UN Forces then how come they have stood on 38th Parallel since last 63 years ?
