Jamali wants war on terror policy reviewed
Former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has demanded a review of the countrys policy on the US-led war on terror.
We should look at it (policy) to know whether or not it is in our national interest, Jamali said in an interview with Pushto-langue Khyber TV. The interview will be telecast on Sunday evening.
The former prime minister however stopped short of saying how he himself viewed the policy that he also pursued when he was chief executive. Why should we fight others war? he asked. I say it must be reviewed and it should tell America and Europe that they need to understand ... He said all this could be done when we behave like a state and not like a set-up. Jamali did not say he ever suggested to President Gen Pervez Musharraf that Pakistan should review its policy on the war on terror while he was prime minister from November 23, 2002, to June 26, 2004. He said provinces were not being given their due rights.
