LAHORE : Founder Chairman Pak-US Business
Council Iftikhar Ali Malik, slamming the US President Donald Trump statement that Pakistan has ‘given us nothing but lies and deceit’, urged the US government to adopt realistic approach towards South Asia for durable peace and stability including war against terrorism.
In a statement issued here on Tuesday, Iftikhar Ali Malik urged the US to“check India’s anti-Pakistan role not only from inside of Afghanistan but
also through the enhanced and increased ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary.
He suggested the US should try and negotiate with the Taliban in
Afghanistan instead of using the armed forces. He said it is both
disturbing and disappointing to hear a repeat of Pakistan being pressured to do more to stabilize Afghanistan.
“Pakistan and the United States have been close allies in the fight against terrorism, which is a common threat to all nations of the world he said adding 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 sincerely with Pakistan to stamp out the menace of terrorism,” he added.
