Pak senators overwhelmingly condemn US policy on South Asia
[DAWN] Senators on Tuesday expressed serious reservations against the United States' policy on South Asia as well as related recent developments, including increased drone attacks and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's visit to Islamabad.During a Senate session, politicians unequivocally criticised the US's new bent, terming it a threat to regional security and peace. Senator Taj Haider said US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... "wants to divide people while erecting walls." He claimed that the US economy was rooted in conflict, but Islamabad would not become part of any proxy war in the region. Senator Farhatullah Babar turned his guns on the government, criticising Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif for "not being able to control the reins of Pakistain's foreign policy". He also asked why dronezaps had resumed in the tenure of the incumbent government. He also lambasted Asif for a recent statement in which he had said that Pakistain would take action against those identified by the US. He said that it seemed to be the same narrative floated by military dictator and former president Pervaiz Musharraf. He also found fault with other statements made by the foreign minister. Recalling that Asif had told US officials that their generals had failed so they should find a political solution to Afghanistan, Babar urged the minister to "adopt the same approach."
