Pakistan stands isolated on the world stage, says Nawaz
[Dawn] Pakistain Mohammedan League -- Nawaz's chief  Nawaz Sharif... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Müslim League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... on Saturday said Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani ... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ... should apprise the nation on the status of parliament's resolution which was passed in the wake of the Abbottabad operation, DawnNews reported. The resolution called for a review of security and foreign policies and condemned the US raid on the Abbottabad compound in which al Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden ... who is no longer with us, and won't be again... was killed. The resolution further stated that in the event of another US operation Pakistain would consider cutting off the supply route for US and allied troops in Afghanistan. Nawaz Sharif further said that Pakistain stood isolated on the international stage, adding that Pakistain could not allow the world community to ridicule it. Cannot "allow" the world community to ridicule it? What if the world community does? Does Pakistain attack? Nawaz said Paks can improve their condition only by rebelling from it. He criticised military regimes for manipulating the country's judiciary and mistreating judges in case of unfavourable verdicts. Posted by: Fred 2011-05-29 |
