The Pakistan Army’s spokesperson was alluding to the United States’ pressure tactics to force Pakistan to act against the alleged terrorist havens on its soil. Our relationship has had its ups and downs but still, we are friends,” Major General Ghafoor remarked. The ISPR director general said that the US had only paid Pakistan for what it had cost Pakistan to be a part of the war on terror in Afghanistan. In response to a question regarding US drone attacks in the settled areas of Pakistan, Ghafoor said the country will respond to such acts according to the aspiration of its people. In turn, he claimed that Pakistan had given “safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help”.
