President of Pakistan Businessmen and Intellectuals Forum (PBIF) Mian Zahid Hussain has urged the Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to launch a diplomatic campaign and call an all-party conference to forge a consensus against nefarious designs of US and India.
"Business community fully supports the principled stance of Prime Minister Abbasi and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa which is in accordance with the aspirations of people and in the larger national interest," he said, lauding the response of the civilian and military leadership to the US threats.
Mian Zahid further said that the US was no more important and relevant for Pakistan. He said that the US companies had invested in Pakistan for their own profit and not as a gesture of mercy. "We can live without US and face her aggression; US needs Pakistan more than Islamabad needs Washington," he remarked.
PBIF president said that the opinion of civil and military leadership regarding relations with the US were slightly different in the past but now they were on the same page against the US threats and Indian conspiracies. He said that our government has realised the threats and began preparations including modification in the foreign policy. He said US had ignored services and sacrifices of Pakistan in the so-called war on terror.
"US President Trump is blaming Pakistan for US failures in Afghanistan to soothe US public and deflect their attention from tarnished reputation of his country among the comity of nations," he said. Mian Zahid made it clear that Pakistan was not harbouring terrorists but the same was being done by Afghan and the US forces that were stationed in Afghanistan from where Pakistan was frequently targeted. "The US policies that backfired in Afghanistan will never work in Pakistan. India will never succeed in her plot to destabilise Pakistan with the help of Washington," he asserted.
