Reaffirming his party’s firm stance in favour of new terms and conditions regarding relations with the United States, chief of Jamiat Ulema–e-Islam Fazlur Rehman said, “All matters in this respect must be made public rather then deals beyond the curtain.” “Strategic partnership between the US and Pakistan has already been terminated. Now Pakistan needs long-term links with US on the basis of friendships,” Fazl remarked during a chat with reporters at a lunch on in Peshawar on Thursday. Flanked by senior leaders and stalwarts of the party, Fazl said blockade of supplies to NATO has put the US under pressure, therefore, the government needs to remain careful in revival of new terms and conditions with the US.
