Farrukh | 2 years ago | Reply What a pity that the ambassador of Pakistan in USA couldn t find any important and influential person there to have a selfie with. Important enough in USA who could do something to improve the US Pakistan relationships. Everyone knows that Gen David Petraeus had to resign from the office of Dir CIA unceremoniously after his extra marital affairs were unearthed by the FBI in an inquiry. After that scam Gen Petraeus was not offered any Government Position or any other important office which could give him any powers to influence the US Policy making. And now sadly and unfortunately our ambassador in USA has become so unimportant that he had to show this pic as a testimony to his diplomatic work in USA. Had our ambassador met him in personal capacity i.e. friendship this would have been absolutely fine. But since this news item shows that Mr. Ambassador is trying to proudly boast his diplomatic work there in USA using this meeting I am afraid we can t endorse that in any way. Instead it s a disgrace to the Ambassador and his good office as well that he is trying to make an image standing with someone who has no say in the US governmental affairs.
