Enough is enough, Pakistan says a NO to US pressure: FM Khar


ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar Wednesday said that enough is enough and coalition forces will no more be allowed to spill even a single drop of blood of Pakistani citizens and soldiers.

“Enough is enough. The Government will not tolerate any incident of spilling of even single drop of any civilian or soldier. The motive behind the recent reaction is to ensure national security and sovereignty of the country. There will be no compromise on national interest. We will not bow before US pressure”, she said while briefing Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Decision taken by the government to seek vacate Shamsi airbase from the US troops and not to attend Bonn Conference was final, she said. “Notice had been sent to the US in connection with vacation of Shamsi airbase. Red lines were violated repeatedly,” she stated.

“We will no more stay mute over it. If ISAF will not give guarantee of sovereignty of Pakistan then Pakistan reserves its right to take any decision for the sake of its national interests”, she remarked.

She went on to say Pakistan had been playing responsible role for establishment of peace in the region. The sacrifices rendered by Pakistan in war on terror were more than any other country, she added. “But it does not mean we will compromise on our sovereignty”, she underscored.

She held NATO supply line had been suspended in the light of resolution of parliament. Only extending apology will not work as not only soldiers were martyred in this incident but Pakistan sovereignty was also attacked upon , she maintained.

“We will have to look to ourselves rather than looking to others. W e will have to come out of the mercy of others”, she added.

Government was also reviewing its relations with US and coalition forces, she said. “We are a sovereign state and we will not allow our sovereignty to be tainted. Pakistan role in war on terror be not overlooked”, she stressed.

As per Online Hina Rabbani Khar said foreign office had no record with reference to alleged letter of Mansoor Ejaz nor any letter was sent to US general by the government. This memo was fabricated and such concocted stories had been published in past against Pakistan, she observed.

She was of the view Mansoor Ejaz had targeted Pakistan army and ISI. Prime Minister (PM) Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani had assigned the inquiry into memogate issue to parliamentary committee for national security, she pointed out.

She said PM had taken decision to remove Hussain Haqqani from his office of ambassador in national interest as several questions were raised in respect of him. Therefore, Hussain Haqqani had returned to Pakistan and he would clear him from all these questions, she added. Hussain Haqqani had played pivotal role for the protection of national interests, she underlined. The reports about overthrowing democratic government were baseless, she added.

Foreign Minister said no mention had been made by US with respect to Mansoor Ejaz memo adding the matter would be fully investigated as Pakistan ambassador could do nothing without the permission of foreign office.

She held parliament was a sovereign institution and any decision taken by it would be honored. Presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan had raised several grave questions, she remarked.

Now if Pakistan destroys one drone aiming to kill poor civilians in the name of so-called Taliban's.... it will be very interesting situation to see

I wonder if PPP (Pathetic Peoples Party) can take such an aggressive stand and are determine to take strong action for future attacks on Pakistani soil... what would be the scenario if Imran Khan like leader was representing the nation.

Even if PPP decides to do it, are you sure that GHQ will let them do it?

These decisions come from the GHQ. PPP or any other civilian politician, for that matter, has no say in them.

That is a well known fact.

Even if IK becomes the head, I doubt he can overrule the GHQ at least in such matters.
 
I can't believe my ears that I gotta get to hear such newzzz.......I can't believe that..... Did Pakistan became a super power in one day that it got a courage like a super power???...and from the Civilian govt....Wowwwwwwww....looks like another bigger attack is coming on the Pakistan soil........:what:

Election is coming soon. 99% of Pakistanis see U.S. and NATO as enemies. PPP will be destroyed if they bow down to U.S. anymore.

It's not a question of Pakistan being a superpower etc all of a sudden.
The WOT has taken a huge toll not only in terms of lives lost and economy ruined but it has also caused a fatigue against the violence caused inside Pakistan by the WOT--in all segments of the Pakistani society. Even the most liberals of the liberals are beginning to see that, yes, the Talibans and their counterparts pose a huge threat to Pakistan but the Western presence in Afghanistan is not entirely or even mostly about global terrorism. Some kind of larger game is being played out and so long as that game is being played out Pakistan will not see peace.
Against this background--nay, against this national consensus, there are now obvious signs of push back by Pakistan. Yes, Pakistan will pay a price in terms of its economy (very dependent upon the West) but Pakistan will survive even punitive sanctions. Peace is required within Pakistan.
Hina Rabbani Khar is the voice of the Pakistani consensus. Never before in the history of Pakistan the GHQ and civilian leadership (from all parties) as well the media have come together so often to meet and formulate policies both within and outside of the Parliament. In the calculus of the entire Pakistani leadership, peace inside Pakistan is of topmost concern--even if it means crippling economic sanctions are imposed.

Exactly. If anything, extremism has grown because of U.S. policies in the region.
 
Nato apology will not be enough: Khar

11-30-2011_27642_l.jpg



ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said that the Nato attack on the Pakistani check post was not an accident and "only an apology would not be enough."

Khar however added that Pakistan was not waiting for an apology

The minister was briefing the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Relations on Wednesday.

“Pakistan cannot see its soldiers being killed by allied forces anymore. There is an established mechanism between Pakistan and allied forces working in Afghanistan regarding movement on the border but Nato authorities didn't inform us about their activity before the incident,” Khar said.

The foreign minister said Pakistan's role in Afghan peace efforts had been accepted by all but not appreciated and coalition forces had crossed red lines several times.

On the issue of the controversial memo, Khar told the meeting held under the chairmanship of Senator Saleem Saifullah Khan that the Foreign Office had no record regarding the memo sent to Admiral Mike Mullen.

Khar noted that Mansoor Ijaz had tried to malign the Pakistan Army and ISI in the controversial memo issue.

Khar was of the view that former ambassador Husain Haqqani must be given a chance to present his arguments before a court of law.
