In response to Trump, Pakistan claims no terrorist groups operate on its soilBy Bill Roggio | August 23, 2017 | admin@longwarjournal.org | @billroggioPakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that the country does not permit terrorist groups to operate on its soil, and denounced what it called “the false narrative of safe havens.” Instead, Pakistan blamed their long-running dispute with India over Jammu and Kashmir as the root cause of instability in the region.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was responding to President Donald Trump’s assertion that the US “can no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond,” during his speech on Aug. 21 that outlined US strategy towards Afghanistan and the wider South Asia region.“Pakistan has also sheltered the same organizations that try every single day to kill our people,” Trump said later in the speech, which was a scathing rebuke of Pakistan’s perfidy towards the US and its allies in Afghanistan. “No partnership can survive a country’s harboring of militants and terrorists who target US service members and officials.”The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to Trumps comments yesterday in an official statement which was released on its web site.Continued: http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2017/08/in-response-to-trump-pakistan-claims-no-terrorist-groups-operate-on-its-soil.php
