‘Pakistan bowing to Trump-Modi pressure’

WASHINGTON: Pakistan's abrupt defanging of terrorist leader Hafiz Saeed is a result of behind the scenes effort by the Trump administration led by a "new and tough sheriff in town" and a "skilled and receptive partner" (PM Narendra Modi)  in New Delhi who, together form a "mortal threat to Islamist terrorism everywhere," US President Donald Trump's Indian-American acolyte Shalabh Kumar has said.

"Lost in the misleading reports about Muslim bans and debates about much-needed vetting on refugees from the Middle East has been the Trump administration's quiet but successful effort behind the scenes to advance policies that crack down on terrorism....," Kumar wrote in a comment on a pro-Trump media outlet. 

In July 2016, Kumar became a public supporter of Donald Trump's candidacy in the Presidential Election, emerging as one of the biggest donors.
