Pakistani leadership should be confronted with international isolation because of their support for jihadist terrorists: Former U.S. NSA
The Hindu
It was during the Trump Administration that the U.S. had blocked all security assistance to Pakistan.
Asserting that Prime Minister Imran Khan must be held accountable for his comments after the fall of Kabul in August, a former U.S. national security advisor has said that the Pakistani leadership should be confronted with international isolation for their support for jihadist terrorists, who are threats to humanity, including the Haqqani network, the Taliban, and groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Testifying before a Congressional committee on Afghanistan, Gen. (retd.) H.R. McMaster also said it is delusional to think that any of the money that would go to the Taliban or through the Taliban for humanitarian purposes would immediately be used by the insurgent group to solidify their power and to become an even greater threat.
"So, we're in a situation where we're facing a really extraordinary dilemma that it's going to be tough for us to mitigate the humanitarian crisis without empowering the Taliban,” he said in response to a question on Wednesday.
