Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif fiercely targeted America by mentioning Taliban in the National Assembly. He said that Pakistan did not participate in both the wars fought on the soil of Afghanistan to protect Islam. He admitted that in the war with Afghanistan, its people were killed in the name of Jihad and yet Pakistan did not learn a lesson from it.
US used us like toilet paper and threw it away: Khawaja Asif
He said that Pakistan also made changes in its educational curriculum to support these wars, which have not been corrected till date. Khawaja Asif said that after 1999, Pakistan again joined the war to get America’s support, for which we paid a heavy price. Criticizing former army chiefs General Zia-ul-Haq and General Pervez Musharraf for these decisions, he said that Pakistan was used like tissue paper, worse than toilet paper, and then thrown away.
Old government needed American crutches: Khawaja Asif
Khawaja Asif argued that this wrong decision established Pakistan as a pawn in others’ wars. He said, ‘In the 1980s, there was a rebellion against Russia in Afghanistan, which was organized by America. At that time the then government of Pakistan wanted American crutches and hence we included our people in it, which was a big mistake.
‘Because of US we turned against Taliban’
Pakistan’s Defense Minister said, ‘The war that the Taliban started against Russia was named Jihad. However, it was not jihad because Russia did not occupy Afghanistan. There was no justification for Pakistan to participate in this war, but still we fought. He said, ‘For America, we turned against Taliban in the year 2001. It (America) is gone, but we are still suffering its loss. This can never be compensated.
