Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Friday that assurances given by the United States could not be trusted adding that time has come to choose between dollars and ego.
Speaking to media, Nisar said he was dumbfounded on how Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz believed the US assurance over drone strikes.
The interior minister asked how anyone could call the US a friend of Pakistan after the recent drone strikes. The fire which has engulfed the entire country is due to US dollars. Time has come for us to choose between dollars and ego. For the past 12 years what peace have these dollars bought us? he questioned.
“Actions have made it clear that the US neither wants peace in Pakistan nor talks with the Taliban”, the interior minister said.
