US conditions for aid shameful: Liaquat Baloch

The Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has said that the US decision tying up its security assistance with Pakistan’s performance against the Al-Qaida was most shameful and proved total failure of Pakistan’s foreign and defense strategy.

In a statement here on Tuesday, he said the political and military leadership of the country had now to decide how long they would carry out the Washington’s dictates for Do More.
He however said that if the federal government and the military high command did not change their policies in the light of the Parliament’s resolutions, the anti Pakistan forces would continue to deepen their roots in the country as would shake the people confidence and national unity, endangering national solidarity.
Liaquat Baloch said, the US civil and military assistance could never lead this country towards progress and prosperity. Foreign aid and loans during the last 64 years had only brought disgrace to the country and the nation. Therefore, all foreign aid tied to insulting conditionalities must be turned down. SANA
