Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan had described the role played by the US in Pakistan as dangerous and urged modifications, a US diplomatic cable disclosed by WikiLeaks said on Sunday. The leak said a US delegation headed by Stephen Lynch had held a meeting with Khan in Islamabad on January 29 last year in which he had slammed the US role in Pakistan. Khan accused the former deputy foreign secretary John Negroponte and former assistant foreign secretary Richard Boucher of approving the National Reconciliation Order (NRO) to facilitate Benazir Bhutto’s return to Pakistan. ”It is courtesy of the NRO that today the biggest criminal of the country is present in parliament,” he said. He said the US had backed Musharraf and then repeated the same mistake by supporting Zardari instead of the democratic process. Khan had also said the US should turn to someone more trustworthy than Zardari to settle matters with the Taliban.
Quite a contrast between PML (N), which is licking the boots of the US to prove its pro American Stance and PTI, which is openly condemning the role of US on their representatives face
