Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan is not Pakistan’s foreign minister. Yet it was to be his job to raise some fundamental questions regarding our relations with America who after making us get involved in two long wars in the past three-and-a half decades has finally abandoned us:
We have paid a very heavy price for our alliance with America. We have destabilized our economy and our society and sacrificed hundreds and thousands of our soldiers and civilians in the way of proving that Pakistan is neither a breeding place nor a safe haven for terrorists.
I have never bought the US narrative and the narrative of our so-called liberal democrats that Pakistan has not done enough to crush terrorism. I believe that terrorism has been exported to Pakistan with ulterior motives by Washington through the so-called war on terrorism, the first chapter of which was invasion of Afghanistan, and the second, invasion of Iraq. The political ‘gurus’ of America came to the conclusion at some point of time in the last quarter of a century that inorder to transform the world of Islam into a burning inferno of freely flowing blood and charred bones, it was essential to keep Pakistan (the only country with an avowed Islamic ethos and nuclear capability on the precipice of impending doom).
The climactic point in this sinister Western strategy was the packing-up of General Pervez Musharraf (who ironically had been the one to push Pakistan into the deadly embrace of the Pentagon) and the installation of Pakistan’s corrupt-most and super-incompetent leaderships at the helm of power.
America’s success in this strategy can be gauged from the fact that Pakistan doesn’t have either a qualified Defence Minister or a qualified
Foreign Minister at this crucial juncture of history. What a tragedy that we have gone through a series of Prime Ministers since early 2008 who hadn’t the capacity to read even a single book on any subject!
Thank you Chaudhry Nisar any way for asking America why Wali Mohammad wasn’t exterminated when he was in Iranian territory— and why he was targeted just days before the ongoing talks for peace in Afghanistan were about to enter a decisive phase.
