Pakistan strongly reacts to US NSA allegations against Pakistan Army

Pakistan has rejected the United States National Security Advisor allegations against Pakistan Army for not acting against the Afghan Taliban and Haqqani network.

A statement rejected the latest assertions by the US that it is ‘selectively’ fighting militant groups and allowing insurgents to use its oil for plotting against Afghanistan.

“Pakistan has taken action against all terrorist elements without discrimination. We have never allowed nor will anybody ever be allowed to use Pakistan’s soil against any other country,” Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria told VOA on Sunday.

The spokesperson’s remarks came in response to assertions made by HR McMaster, the US National Security Adviser, who said Saturday that the Trump administration wanted regional countries, particularly Pakistan to stop providing “safe haven and support bases” to the [Afghan] Taliban and Haqqani Network.
