Dr Shireen Mazari, Vice President in-charge of Foreign and Security Policy, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) said that Imran Khan, Chairman, PTI accepted invitation for participation in APC in the national interest and it should be taken as support to the present US policy of the government.
In fact, the PTI wishes to make it clear that the party and its Chairman Imran Khan, for the last seven years, have been calling upon the government to withdraw from fighting the US's so-called 'war on terror' that has destroyed the social, political and economic fabric of Pakistan.
The fallout of this misplaced alliance has resulted in the Pakistan economy suffering over $70 billion in losses; while almost 40,000 Pakistanis have died, over 3.5 million displaced and 140,000 soldiers have been stuck in the FATA quagmire that has been a direct result of the US "war on terror".
For the sake of dollars, the Pakistani leaders have shown themselves willing to suffer humiliation and abuse at the hands of the US even as they have been unable to deal with its own myriad of social, economic and security problems. Ironically, even the much-touted Coalition Support Fund for providing services in the US cause stands $3 billion short - valuable expenditure that was wasted by Pakistan in doing the US bidding and which the US has yet to refund.-PR
