It has been learnt that US President Barack Obama had secretly offered Pakistan in 2009 that he would nudge India towards negotiations on Kashmir in lieu of it ending support to terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Taliban, but much to his disappointment Islamabad rejected the offer.
"Since the 1950s Pakistan had wanted an American role in South Asia. Now it was being offered one. In the end Pakistan would have to negotiate the Kashmir issue directly with India. But at least now the American president was saying that he would nudge the Indians toward those negotiations." Who is making these disclosures? It is Pakistan's former Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani who in his book 'Magnificent delusions', which hit the stores Tuesday, gives more 'insights' into Pakistan.
The above is Haqqani's interpretation of the secret letter written by President Obama to the then President Asif Ali Zardari, which was personally hand delivered by his then National Security Advisor General James Jones (Retd). The letter's content is for the first time being disclosed by Haqqani, the then Pakistan's envoy to the US. Can the nation trust the prime suspect of Memogate scandal? No we cannot trust him anymore.
