PM Imran Says US finds Pakistan helpful just to clear mess in Afghanistan

Prime Minister Imran Khan accused the United States of making India strategic partner and treating Pakistan differently. Seeing Pakistan as useful only in the context of the “mess” it is leaving behind in Afghanistan after 20 years of fighting.

US has been pressuring Pakistan to take advantage of its leverage over the Taliban to expedite a bargain between the Taliban and Afghan government.

Pakistan is simply thought to be just to be valuable with regards to by one way or another settling this wreck which has been abandoned following 20 years of attempting to track down a tactical arrangement when there was not one, Mr. Khan told columnists at his home in Islamabad.

The United States is set to pull out its military by Aug 31, 20 years after overturning the Taliban government in 2001. Be that as it may, as the United States leaves, the Taliban today control a more area than anytime from that point forward.

Mr. Khan said Islamabad was not favoring one side in Afghanistan.

Mr. Khan believes that the Americans have concluded that India is their essential accomplice now, and he imagines that is the reason there’s an alternate method of treating Pakistan now.

A political settlement in Afghanistan was looking troublesome under current conditions, he added.

The head administrator said he attempted to convince the Taliban chiefs when they were visiting Pakistan to arrive at a settlement.

“The condition is that as long as [President] Ashraf Ghani is there, we (Taliban) won’t converse with the Afghan government,” Mr. Khan said, citing the Taliban chiefs as advising him.

Harmony talks between the Taliban, who see President Ghani and his administration as US manikins, and a group of Kabul-named Afghan moderators began last September yet have gained no meaningful headway.

Agents of a few nations, including the US, are at present in the Qatari capital of Doha conversing with the two sides in a last-ditch push for a truce.

US powers have kept on utilizing air strikes to help Afghan powers against the Taliban propels, however it stays muddled if such help will proceed after Aug 31.

Mr. Khan said Pakistan had “made it very clear” that it doesn’t need any American army installations in Pakistan after US powers leave Afghanistan.
