By Our Staff Reporter 2017-08-28
LAHORE: PML-Q central leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi says change in the US policy about Pakistan is the result of failure of Nawaz Sharif`s foreign policy.

`Had Nawaz Sharif paid any attention to foreign policy of Pakistan during the last four years, Pakistan would not have been discredited despite sacrificing 70,000 lives in war on terror, he said in a statement here on Sunday.

Mr Elahi said Pakistan was the only Islamic country of the world that had achieved success in the war onterror. `Pakistan`s case in war against terroris strongineveryrespectandit is because of this even China and Russia have termed the US President`s criticism of Pakistan improper. The N-League government has no international vision. For the last four years it has been trying to discredit Pakistan Army. The difficulties which Pakistan is f acing today on external front are because of Nawaz Sharif`s pro-India and antiPak army policies,` he said.

Pervaiz Elahi further said by giving a befitting response to President Trump`s open threats Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa had saved thehonour of the nation. `Gen Bajwa has truly represented sentiments of Pakistani nation by saying that if the US does not value Pakistan`s sacrifices in the war against terrorism, Pakistan also does not need its aid.

The former deputy prime minister said Nawaz Sharif had launched an anti-judiciary campaign to influence the National Accountability Bureau`s references against him.

`Instead of repeatedly saying `why I have been ousted`, Nawaz should read the Supreme Court verdict in Urdu if he is finding a problem in understanding it in English, he said.
