Washington: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan had described the role of America in Pakistan as dangerous and urged modification in the same, according to a US diplomatic cable disclosed by a whist-blower WikiLeaks.
According to the Leak, a US delegation headed by Stephen Lynch had held a meeting with Imran Khan on January 29 last year in Islamabad. During the meeting Khan severely slammed the US role in Pakistan and called upon it to modify the same.
Khan accused the former deputy foreign secretary John Negroponte and former assistant foreign secretary Richard Boucher of approving the NRO in order to facilitate Benazir Bhutto’s return to Pakistan.
“It is courtesy of the NRO that today the biggest criminal of the country is present in the Parliament,” he regretted.
He said the US had backed Pervez Musharraf, former military ruler of Pakistan, and then repeated the same mistake by supporting Zardari instead of the democratic process.
Khan said instead of President Asif Ali Zardari the US should have turned to some trustworthy person for settling matters with the Taliban.
