Prime Minister Imran Khan admitted on Monday that Pakistan committed \u201cone of the biggest blunders\u201d by joining the US after the 9\/11 attacks, saying the previous governments \u201cshould not have pledged what they could not deliver\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations think-tank here, Khan also said the least he expects the international community to do is to urge India to lift the curfew in Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to a question, Khan said he had urged his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to \u201creset\u201d bilateral ties and his government waited to resume talks until after the elections in India were over but then it found that \u201cIndia is pushing us in the blacklist of the Financial Action Task Force to bankrupt us.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan has been trying to internationalise the Kashmir issue but India has asserted that the abrogation of Article 370 was its \u201cinternal matter\u201d. New Delhi has also asked Islamabad to accept the reality and stop its anti-India rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked about former US defence secretary James Mattis\u2019 remark that he considered Pakistan to be \u201cthe most dangerous\u201d among all countries he had dealt with, Khan said: \u201cI do not think Mattis fully understands why Pakistan became radicalised.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Khan said Pakistan \u201ccommitted one of the biggest blunders\u201d when it joined the US war on terror after the 9\/11 terror attacks by the al-Qaeda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think the Pakistani government should not have pledged what they could not deliver,\u201d Khan said, referring to the then military dictator General Pervez Musharraf\u2019s decision to side with the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan was one of the three countries which recognised the Taliban government in Afghanistan before the US invasion in 2001 there. After the US invasion of Afghanistan following the 9\/11 attacks, Pakistan extended support to American forces against the Taliban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
