  • Zardari
    Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari prays before his address to a joint sitting of parliament in Islamabad.

    "The US presidency's new approach represents a positive change. It is an endorsement of our call for economical, social uplifts as a means of fighting extremism," Zardari had said in a speech to a joint sitting of Parliament.

    He had welcomed the 1.5-billion dollar aid package announced for the country. Zardari had also said Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for terrorism directed against any country and at the same time, will not allow anyone to violate its sovereignty -- an apparent reference to a spate of missile attacks in its tribal areas by US drones.

    Pak Agenda By: Neil | 30-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward Saying one thing and doing another. Zardari is allowing (in fact encouraging) the use of Pakistani soii for terrorist attacks directed against other countries and at the same time allowing others (US drones and Al Qaida specialists from several countries) to violate its sovereignty. If he says he is not doing so, that means he is not in control of what goes on through official agencies.

    Paki swindlersBy: Hero Vaz | 29-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward In the US's new Pak policy, Pak is bothered about only the 'no blank cheque' to swindle and backstab the US and Zardari is concerned that he will have problems getting his 10%.
