*ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Imran Khan doesn’t want Pakistan to be treated like a hired gun ever again. Speaking to The Washington Post, the premier said being given money to fight someone else’s war cost us “human lives, devastation of our tribal areas, but it also cost us our dignity”.*
He has said that he would like a proper relationship with the US. This comes soon after the US asked Pakistan for help facilitating the Afghan peace process. He said peace in Afghanistan is in Pakistan’s interest, so his government will do “everything” to help.
PM Khan said the US has blamed Pakistan for its own deeply flawed policies, like the military approach to Afghanistan.
“I have never understood these accusations [that Pakistan is harboring Taliban leaders]. Pakistan had nothing to do with 9/11. Al-Qaeda was in Afghanistan. No Pakistani was involved. And yet Pakistan was asked to participate in the US war,” he said.
