ISLAMABAD – DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor while talking to private TV Channel has said that “Pakistan need nothing from the US, but acknowledgements for our contributions, our sacrifices and our efforts for peace in the region,” stated the major general.

Referring to the start of the war, DG ISPR said, “We all know how the war on terror was started and how it was imposed upon us and we have made fought it as our war in the interests of our country.”

“We did whatever we had to in the interest of Pakistan and what we do in the future will also be in our interests,” said the Army spokesman.

He added that Afghanistan’s war will not be fought again on Pakistani soil and there have been plenty of discussions on what measures need to be taken on the border and regarding coordination.

When asked about the US policy giving an upper hand to India in the region, Ghafoor said the US being a superpower has its own interests in the region and relations with sovereign nations.

“But one line which has been clarified to them from Pakistan is that, any policy which compromises Pakistan’s national interest will not be right,” stated the Army spokesman.

He further said that if Afghanistan has Indian involvement, in Pakistan they [India] has anti-state involvement, for which we have proof, so American can give India any status but any role which gives India permission to work against Pakistan’s national interest, will not be acceptable to Pakistan.”
