Islamabad: Former Federal Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao has said
that USA is exerting pressure on Pakistan to cover her failure in
Afghanistan as the American presidential elections are approaching next
year.
He was talking exclusively with Online here on Wednesday.
He said that the foreign policy of Pakistan is not clear. Pak - America
relations began to worsen when ‘red lines’ were not drawn between both
sides in the war against terrorism.
“Our track record regarding
implementation of decisions is not very good. After the blames leveled
by USA, the situation has been deteriorated to a large extent and if
the decisions would not be followed, it could harm the country”, he
added by saying that whenever any big incident takes place in
Afghanistan, America puts pressure on Pakistan.
Sherpao was of
the view that the killing of Burhan-ud-Din Rabbani caused an immense
dent in the peace efforts in Afghanistan. On one side USA is busy in
negotiation with Taliban while on the other hand, she wants to take
action against their group, Haqqani network.
He said that peace
will not succeed in Afghanistan in prevailing circumstances, as it is
not possible without taking all the stakeholders present there on board. Online
