Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan Responds to US President Donald Trump’s recent statement for Pakistan
[ Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan Responds to US President Donald Trump’s recent statement for Pakistan ]
Record needs to be put straight on Mr Trump’s tirade against Pakistan:
1. No Pakistani was involved in 9/11 but Pak decided to participate in US War on Terror.
2. Pakistan suffered 75,000 casualties in this war & over $123 bn was lost to economy. US “aid” was a miniscule $20 bn.
3. Our tribal areas were devastated & millions of ppl uprooted from their homes. The war drastically impacted lives of ordinary Pakistanis.
4. Pak continues to provide free lines of ground & air communications(GLOCs/ALOCs). Can Mr Trump name another ally that gave such sacrifices?
Instead of making Pakistan a scapegoat for their failures, the US should do a serious assessment of why, despite 140000 NATO troops plus 250,000 Afghan troops & reportedly $1 trillion spent on war in Afghanistan, the Taliban today are stronger than before.
