ISLAMABAD:
A breakaway faction of PML-Q, known as ‘like-minded’, on Saturday demanded that the government to convene an all parties’ conference and formulate a national policy in the backdrop of US threats. The party’s chief Senator Salim Saifullah Khan made the demand at a press conference and warned the US that adventurism against Pakistan would be “dangerous”. Recent statements by Obama administration against Pakistan Army and its spy wing and the possibility of US surgical strikes in North Wazirstan have prompted the lawmakers to press the government to form a national policy. Khan said the US should stop blaming Pakistan as more than 35,000 civilians and close to 9,000 Pakistani armed forces have sacrificed their lives in the war against terror. “Afghan insurgents are carrying out cross-border attacks in Pakistani border regions of Dir, Chitral and Balochistan, but the US and its allies have done nothing to stop them,” he added.
