Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar said on Thursday that the visit of two or three US army men cannot change the stance of the government and Army regarding NATO supplies.
Talking to journalists, the minister said that only Parliament was sovereign in order to decide the restoration of NATO supply.
He said that talks regarding opening of NATO supply line were not being held while Parliament would give its decision by reviewing the recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security and the government and army would follow the decision of the parliament.
Mukhtar said, therefore, the US should also respect the decision of the Parliament. He added that the recent visit of US army men could not pressurise the government and army.
The National security and sovereignty of the country would be assured at any cost, while anyone who would go against the national security, stern action would be taken against him, he added.
While criticising the PML-N leadership, he said the governments could not be successful only by distributing laptops.
