Talking about the political consequences, he argued thatContinued on page 9 some of Pakistani politicians were exploiting Pak-US tension for their political interests. "Few Pakistani politicians are misleading their people by giving an impression that Pakistan and US tension might lead to a war situation", he added.

Tarar further explained that the Pakistani community and businessmen in the US were playing their role for creating a better relationship between the governments of two countries. "Seventy-year-old Pak-US relationship can’t be ended with a tweet or in a week; good relationships are essential for the people of both countries,” Tarar said.
