ISLAMABAD: The US treats Pakistan in step with its wishes and "ditches" when it does no longer require Islamabad, former military ruler Pervez Musharraf has mentioned as he accused America of aligning with India in opposition to his nation.
The former president and chief of All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) in an interview with Voice of America mentioned that Pakistan-US relations have suffered quite a blow and are currently at "the lowest ebb", the Express Tribune reported.
The 74-year-old retired basic, who is facing top treason charges, has been residing in Dubai since ultimate 12 months when he used to be allowed to go away Pakistan for medical treatment.
He mentioned that there is an absolute requirement to sit down with america and get to the bottom of whatever tiff the international locations are facing. "This connects to Afghanistan. There are allegations against Pakistan, and both the countries have their grievances," he mentioned.
Answering a query as to why there are strenuous relations between the 2 international locations, Musharraf mentioned, "US has supported India very openly from the Cold War era. And now again, the US is aligning itself with India against Pakistan, this affects us directly. We would like the UN to examine India's role in Afghanistan. A one-sided approach to the problem is negative."
The former army chief mentioned that the people of Pakistan do not understand "why the US ditches us and then comes back to us".
"The people also know this that US comes to us when they need us, and they ditch us when they don't - it should not be this way," he mentioned.
The relations between Washington and Islamabad have been strained since US President Donald Trump accused Pakistan of "lies and deceit" and criticised Islamabad for offering protected havens to terror teams.
