Don't know what #Pakistan Def Min is blaming me for now. When I was ambassador, we got PAF F-16s from US https://t.co/SnNDRoW62A
— Husain Haqqani (@husainhaqqani) January 19, 2016Federal Minister for Defence Khawaja Asif on Tuesday claimed former ambassador to the US is campaigning along with India to malign Pakistan and to block delivery of F-16 fighter jets.
Asif made the startling revelation during his briefing to the National Assembly. He told Pakistan is trying to acquire eight F-16 fighter jets from the US on lease but the former ambassador is trying to block the delivery.
Confirming anti-Pakistan lobbies on the US, he said India is also actively lobbying against Pakistan.
