Democratic leadership too will pursue war on terror: Nawaz
The US-led war on terror will be in safe hands if democracy returns to Pakistan, exiled former leader Nawaz Sharif said on Sunday as he prepares to defy the military regime by returning home. Its very simple: were all against terror, Sharif told CNN, recapping his excellent rapport with then US president Bill Clinton before he was ousted as Pakistans prime minister by President Pervez Musharraf.
You cant fight terror the way Musharraf is fighting it. He needs the threat of terror for his own survival. We will fight terror out of conviction, he said. You cant win the battle against terror when the nation is not behind you, when the people of the country are not supporting you, when the parliament is not behind you, he added.
