[DAWN] The Foreign Office (FO) on Tuesday rejected United States (US) President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's allegations that Pakistain offers safe haven to "agents of chaos", as he announced America's new strategy on Afghanistan and South Asia.
"Rejecting" it makes it not so.
Talking tough on Pakistain, Trump had said, "We can no longer be silent about Pakistain's safe havens for terrorist organizations," warning that vital aid to Islamabad could be cut.
"We have been paying Pakistain billions and billions of dollars at the same time they are housing the very gunnies that we are fighting," he said. "That will have to change and that will change immediately."
The FO, issuing a rejoinder to the US president's statements said: "As a matter of policy, Pakistain 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 Pakistain to eradicate terrorism."
Next step is to complain about Afghanistan harboring Mullah Fazlullah.
The FO said it is "disappointing that the US policy statement ignores the enormous sacrifices rendered by the Pak nation" in the fight against terrorism.
It's disappointing the Paks had Osama bin Laden living a half mile down the road from the national military academy and somehow didn't notice. It's disappointing that Mullah Omar died in a Pak hospital, and that his successor was dronezapped in Pakistain.
"No country in the world has done more than Pakistain to counter the menace of terrorism. No country in the world has suffered more than Pakistain from the scourge of terrorism, often perpetrated from outside our borders," the FO asserted.
No country in the world has more internationally recognized terror groups within its borders than Pakistain, with their leaders walking around openly and their operations continuing routinely.
