ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday has clarified Unites States that Pakistan is not your ‘hired gun’ anymore.
In an interview to Washington Post, Imran Khan responded to a question related to social media war with US president Donald Trump and said, “It was not really a Twitter war, it was just setting the record right. He needs to be informed about historical facts. Pak has suffered enough fighting US’s war. Now we will do what is best for our people and our interests.”
Talking about war against terrorism, Khan told that there are no sanctuaries of Taliban in Pakistan.
"When I came into power, I got a complete briefing from the security forces. They said that we have time and time again asked the Americans, “Can you tell us where the sanctuaries are, and we will go after them?” he added.
Replying to a question, the premier said that Pakistan’s relationship with China is not one-dimensional as it’s a trade relationship between two countries. We want a similar relationship with the U.S, he went on to say.
