ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said Wednesday Pakistan had not entered into any secret agreement with the US when reopening the NATO supply route. Speaking to the media Khar said a message of not crossing the red line had been given to the US.

 

“The role played by ISAF Commander General Allen in the reopening of the route was vital,” Khar told senior journalists.

 

The Foreign Minister added the NATO supply route was reopened but a super power had to “back down.” Pakistan will continue talks with the US over drone attacks, Khar said.

 

Speaking on future relations with the US, Khar said these would be made in according to parliamentary guidelines.

 

Earlier the federal cabinet endorsed the decision of the DCC to resume NATO supply route. According to the DCC approval no lethal cargo would be transported to Afgahnistan via Pakistan except for Afghan National Security Forces, essential for ensuring peace and stability.

She is inexperienced and naive to air her point of view in such a way. The super power in question DID NOT back down but quite the opposite happened as the corrupt and greedy regime of her backed down under pressure and ofcourse the offer of over a billion dollars was quite irresistible to be turned down.They recently tried to sell Pakistan(memeogate)but fortunately could not acheive their nefarious designes.Americans know that they are the most corrupt in the world .

Pakistan has to keep peaceful relation with the other countries and opening of Nato supply obviously improve pakistan relation with other countires but Pakistanhas missed the imprtant oportunity to ask US to allow pakistan for import of cheap oil from Iran so that energy problem get resloved

Pakistan is dying of energy crisis atleast she should have ask US to allow Pakistan to import cheap gas and petrol from Iran, Like US allowed china, india to import cheap oil from iran. People won't complain anything even her party pipe line to swiss accounts remain open if they take few decisions in the interest of people of pakistan also. Biggest problem is the enrgy crisis.

Pakistani government should pursue Pakistani National interests, tactfully, shamelessly, and without any hesitation, and we should put all our faith in Allah Almighty, and love of our Master Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

Hina Khar did not tell the media that the US$ 1925/ container transit fee includes 15% to the Maulvi Phajja Group, 20% to Certain Balochi Bandits, 15% to the KPK robber barons, 25% to the special Intelligence agencies for providing escort, 15% to the Sindhi waderas & politicians and the balance 20% will go the Pakistani government through ministry of defence and Ministry of trade. Incidentally PML(N)& JUI stalwarts trucking companies will be granted exclusive contracts.
