In a significant development, which will affect the future relations between US and Pakistan, highly placed government sources have told TIMES NOW that US President George W Bush has cautioned Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh against taking Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari at face value.
Govt sources have told TIMES NOW that Bush told Manmohan Sing that he had huge doubts about ZardariÂ’s ability to deliver on assurances made to India on curbing cross border terror.
Bush shared his assessment with Manmohan Singh during the course of their bi-lateral meeting when the two discussed terrorism in South Asia. The Prime Minister in turn is reported to have told Bush that though the Indian government didn't push Zardari too hard India did convey to him its strong views on terror from Pakistan soil.
Highly placed government sources have told TIMES NOW that Zardari went out of his way to tell the PM that India needed to give him some time as he was only a week-old President. |
