Mullen raises Balochistan issue with India
Owais | Dec 10, 2009 | Comments 8
US Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen said he has raised the issue of interference into Balochistan with the Indian leadership. Talking to a private TV channel, Mullen said he talked to his Indian counterparts, both former and current, and the Indian political leadership about Pakistan’s reservations.
He said he had also discussed the issue with Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was involved in the killings of US citizens, Mullen said adding that Al Qaeda-Taliban collaboration in the Pak-Afghan border area had spurred violence in both countries. The US Army chief said Pak Army has taken up vital measures to cope with the extremists and clinched successes, adding the relations between Pakistan and the US are based on mutual interests.
He also said if Indo-Pak tension is terminated and headway towards the resolution of Kashmir issue is achieved, then the issue regarding the regional stability to a large extent would be resolved. Mullen ruled out putting any US troops on Pakistani soil for anti-militant operations along the Afghan border and said a stable and supportive Kabul would help Islamabad in formulating its future strategy. “No, no. There’s no – absolutely no provision, nor – or no discussion of putting any US troops in Pakistan,” he told the PBS channel when asked if the US troops could target terrorists on the Pakistani side of the Afghan border. – Daily Times

i think it’s a positive sign although it may be just a show-off to the world about how much america is sincere to paakistaan ;it can be a bluff , me not sure about that…
Thank you Mr. Mullen. We appreciate this very much.
good news of Pakistan
cool one… Good sign for pakistan
Unfortunately, Mr Mullen is lying when he says that there are plans to put US troops in Pakistan – they are already here according to confirmed sources who work for the US embassy in Islamabad.
These 300 odd US Marines are based full time in and around Islamabad carrying out spying and surveillance activities.
Even worse is the fact that this cannot happen without the connivence of our govt. The recent closing down of the Sihala Spy operation on our sensitive Kahuta plant is a step in the right direction.
Pakistan has gold reserves worth trillions of dollars &
the strategic position with the perceived threat from the Taliban, this could be another reason why the West is so interested in controlling Pakistan even more….
LAHORE – The renowned Nuclear Scientist Dr Samar Mubarakmand recently-installed Rs 70 million high-tech 4 MeV Pelletron Accelerator and Rs 40 million Laser Laboratories at the GC University, Lahore Centre for Advanced Studies in Physics (GCU CASP).
GCU Vice Chancellor Dr Khalid Aftab & other speakers like Dr Samar gave wake-up call to the national scientists, saying Pakistan is extremely rich in minerals especially coal, copper and gold and what it needed is indigenous technology for exploitation of these resources. We should not let the foreigners to exploit our resources and pay us peanuts in form of royalty.
Nuclear scientist said that Pakistan had gold and copper reserves of trillions of dollars in Balochistan.
US is fully aware by Indian Terrorist Activities
into Pakistan. But they keep quite over that since.
India supported and supporting Afghan Taliban with lots of
$$$, weapons and other things. Just to do as much as terror they can make into different part of Pakistan.
But whole world and their media keep quite over it. US got only 1 9/11, but Pakistan getting such situation almost every day. Nobody care for it.
In other words, US building India as a strong power against Pakistan & China. Because US never shown so much interesting to India than before.
One more thing that I should add here that, Pak media is so coward so coward to show the real face of India to world.
Just look at Huge Indian Media always propaganda against Pakistan. Even they using so bad words against Pak. But Pakistani Media is always busy to show Bollywood Movies, Talk Show, Drama`s, Celebrities, IPL, ICL etc. . . .
Wake up Pak Media!
Has any pakistani leadership asked mullen as to their interference in south asia after conniving with osama bin laden to stage manage 9/11
