Dubai, Jan. 3 (TNS): Firing back at Trumps statement, former military dictator Pervez Musharraf says Pakistan has always been sincere to the US in fight against terrorism but it was the US, which betrayed Pakistan every time.
Musharraf spoke after US President Donald Trump’s rude tweet on Monday blamed Pakistan of ‘lies and deceit’.
In an interview, Musharraf said the money the US ‘spent’ on Pakistan was only because of the services the Pakistani nation rendered in fighting the war in its own backyard.
The former military chief emphasised that the US can assist Pakistan in figuring out the targets but any strategy should be led by Pakistan.
He noted that during his presidency, Pakistan always stood by the US but America would often backtrack on it promises.
Musharraf defended, as an apt decision, Pakistan’s joining of the war against terrorism September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
“The entire world, including China, was with the US against Taliban. We made the right decision to engage in the war and I still stand by it,” he remarked.
