Pakistanis appalled at US Congressmen's views, says Rabbani | |
2016-07-15 | |
[DAWN] Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani on Thursday said the people of Pakistain are appalled at the views expressed by certain American law makers in the US Congress regarding Pakistain.
Rabbani was responding to a US congressional panel which has demanded cutting off all US assistance to Pakistain to persuade Islamabad to act against the Afghan Taliban groups allegedly using its territory to launch operations into Afghanistan. The Senate chairman alleged that such sentiments also demonstrate a marked lack of respect and recognition of the tremendous contribution made by the Pak people and the armed forces in its fight against terrorism. "Given this context, it is not surprising that the people of Pakistain are now forced to ask the question whether they are dealing with friends or foes in the American congress," Rabbani said. He said that such statements from some of the US politicians are "a case of the pot calling kettle black, given their deplorable track record of double standards on areas such as human rights" ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedomat the convenience of the state... "Their conspicuous silence on the killings of unarmed civilians in Kashmire, the treatment being meted out to African-American in their own country and the effort to impose India on the NSG in violation of all norms of nuclear non-proliferation reflect this," the chairman senate remarked. Rabbani hoped that saner elements in US Congress will respond to such statements. | |

Being as how they've treated us like enemies since the creation of their pathetic little country the only surprise is that it took us so long to figure it out. |
