PM Imran Khan has an advice for America over failed Afghan war

ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan has reminded the United States thatsacrifices made by Pakistan in war on terror are unparallel and cannot bebrushed aside with a meaningless tirade.

Setting the record straight of the US President, Donald Trump in a tweetmessage today, the Prime Minister made it clear that no Pakistani wasinvolved in September 11, 2001 attacks on the US soil, but still Pakistandecided to participate in war on terror.

He said Pakistan suffered 75,000 casualties in this war and suffered a lossof over 123 billion dollars to its economy.

The Prime Minister said the US-aid is a minuscule 20 billion dollars incomparison with these losses.

Imran Khan further said our tribal areas were devastated and millions ofpeople uprooted from their homes due to this war, which also drasticallyimpacted lives of ordinary Pakistanis.

He said Pakistan continues to provide free lines of ground and aircommunications to the US. He asked President Trump to name another allythat gave such sacrifices.

The Prime Minister added that instead of making Pakistan a scapegoat forits failures, the United States should do a serious assessment of why theTaliban today are stronger than before, despite presence of 140,000 NATOand 250,000 Afghan troops and spending approximately one trillion dollarson the war in Afghanistan.
