Terming Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari’s scheduled visit to India as “very constructive”, US has said it does not
want any new strains in Indo-Pak ties over the $10 million bounty offered by it for LeT founder Hafiz Saeed.
“We think his (Zardari) visit to India actually is very constructive, and we’re all for it,” State Department spokesperson Mark Toner told reporters in Washington.
Zardari is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over lunch in New Delhi on April 8 before making a private visit to the 13th century Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at Ajmer.
“We certainly want to see and to us, it’s a win-win situation when Pakistan and India are engaging in dialogue, are talking to each other, and are building better cooperation,” Toner said.
America, he said, does not want the recent announcement of the bounty on Saeed to have any affect on the meeting between Zardari and Singh.
“We certainly don’t want it to impact on his visit to India,” he said.
Pakistanis will bear all cost only for his and his accomplices PRIVATE trip to HELL. Cost of all other PRIVATE trips MUST be borne by him/them.
