Terror elements spread in every nook and corner of Pakistan: Khawaja Asif

India Today Television | January 5, 2018

In a very aggressive TV interview Pakistan's foreign minister Khawaja Asif accused US of betrayal.

Asif has declared US and Pakistan are no longer friends and the bilateral ties need a serious revisit.

He, in fact, was so acerbic during an interview that he went on the say that US was a friend who always betrayed and added that in case of any US aggression, "Pakistan would respond in a manner that would reflect the nation's will."

Asif's blunt remarks contradict the stand taken by the Pakistan Army on US President Donald Trump's latest accusation that Pakistan has given the US nothing but lies and deceit thinking of US leaders as fools and now is the time to stop the financial aid to Pakistan.

Trump blamed Pakistan for giving safe haven to the terrorists the US hunts in Afghanistan in spite of receiving $33 Billion of US aid in last 15 years.

And now, the US has said that it has suspended all security assistance to Pakistan until Islamabad takes "decisive action" against terror groups, including the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network, which according to Washington is destabilising the region.
