Bush initiated arms race in South Asia
 US President George W Bushs visit to Pakistan has exposed the Musharraf regimes flawed foreign policy that has left Pakistan alone in the comity of nations, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president Syed Zafar Ali Shah said. The US President Bushs visit which began from an unannounced visit to Afghanistan will leave negative impact on the future political scenario in South Asia in particular and on the world in general, Zafar said in a news release on Sunday. He said that Bush praised India for its role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and promised the Afghan President Hamid Karzai to take up the infiltrations issue with President Pervez Musharraf, while Pakistan, its frontline ally in the war on terror, was asked to do more to rein in terrorists. The PML-N leader criticised the Indo-US civil nuclear deal, stating that the deal would encourage an arm race in the area. Posted by: Fred 2006-03-06 |
