LAHORE: The treasury benches demanded decreasing the number of American diplomats on Pakistani soil after the speech of US President Donald Trump who used ‘bullying’ tactics and undermined Pakistan’s sacrifices in the war against terror.

The resolution was submitted in Punjab Assembly by PML-N MPA Hina Pervez Butt, who not only condemned Trump’s speech, but also said his allegations were regrettable. She stated in her resolution that Pakistan had been targeted by the terrorists in a war it had initiated to weed out militancy. “More than 70,000 Pakistanis sacrificed their lives in the said war.”
