WASHINGTON: Expressing hope that Pakistan’s current domestic political situation would not get parallel to March 16 crisis when top US officials had to make phone calls to Pakistani leadership to sort out the issue of restoration of judiciary, US President’s Special Envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke has said that the US never takes sides but only supports the leadership of constitutionally elected governments.
He told The News at the State Department here on Monday, Holbrooke said though during the recent trip of secretary Clinton to Pakistan, the issue of NRO was not discussed much but the US officials were fully aware of it. “Pakistanis are very sensitive to the issue of their sovereignty and that is why I do not want to say anything about it,” he added. He said those who attacked the KLL did not understand it. He said those who oppose the KLL are the ones who either oppose the present Pakistani government or support the Taliban.
