ATLANTA (The Thursday Times) — US Wazir-e-Kharja Marco Rubio ne Hafte ko kaha ke Washington nahin chahta ke Pakistan ko dehshatgardi ka nishana banaya jaye, aur Islamabad ki is shikayat ki himayat ki ke Taliban ne Afghanistan se hone wale hamle rokne ke liye kafi iqdamat nahin kiye.
Rubio ne Atlanta mein G20 wuzra-e-kharja ke ijlas ke mauqe par sahafiyon se kaha, "Hum nahin chahte ke Pakistan ko dehshatgardi ka nishana banaya jaye. Pakistan ko Afghanistan ki sarzameen se sarparasti mein hone wale dehshatgard hamlon par tashweesh hai, aur us ka khayal hai ke Taliban ne in hamlon ko rokne ke liye kafi kuch nahin kiya. Hum dehshatgardi ke khilaf hain, chahe woh kahin se bhi ho aur kisi ko bhi nishana banaye."
Un ke yeh remarks aise waqt saamne aaye hain jab chand din pehle Pakistan ne Aqwam-e-Muttahida ki Human Rights Council ko bataya ke Taliban dehshatgardon ko Afghan sarzameen se karrawaiyan karne de rahe hain, aur teen saal mein dehshatgard hamlon mein 4,700 Pakistani maare ja chuke hain. Is ke baad se Pakistan Army sarhad paar se firing ke jawab mein South Waziristan aur Parachinar ke qareeb Afghan Taliban ki mazeed chowkiyan tabah kar chuki hai.
Rubio ne is mahine ke awail mein kaha tha ke US ko jauhari hathiyaron se lais Pakistan ke saath apne taalluqat barqarar rakhne honge, jo US-Iran jang ko dobara shuru hone se rokne ki koshishon mein Qatar ke saath aik aham salis ban kar ubhra hai. Isi news conference mein unhon ne kaha ke Sadr Donald Trump ne Iran par naye hamlon ka faisla nahin kiya, jabke Tehran ne kaha hai ke us ka Washington se muzakrat ka koi mansooba nahin. Rubio ne kaha, "Agar hum chahein to fauji maqasid hasil kar sakte hain. Unhon ne abhi faisla nahin kiya."
