Pakistan to pay heavy price for being an ally of US in War on Terror: Shireen Mazari

PTI Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari in her tweet with a following of 1.8M on Twitter said, "So again Pakistan will be made to pay heavy price of being an ally of US in its "War on Terror" as a Bill (see pp 25-26) is introduced in US Senate in aftermath of the US schaotic Afghan withdrawal followed by collapse of ANA & Ashraf Ghani flight to UAE."

She reprimanded that 20 years of presence by economically & militarily powerful US & NATO left behind chaos with no stable governance structures. Pakistan is now being scapegoat for this failure. This was never our war; wesuffered 80000 casualties, a decimated economy, over 450 drone attacks byour US "ally" & disastrous fallout of these attacks on our tribal area.

Mazari inquired, Where did $2 trillion disappear? Why did the heavily-invested-in ANA simply dissolve? Who asked Pak to free TTA ldrship?Who signed Doha agreement with TTA & hosted them in DC? ?US senate should do serious introspection.?

PTI Minister concluded her tweet by saying, enough is enough. It is time forthose powers who were present in Afghanistan to look to their own failures instead of targeting Pakistan which paid a heavy price in lives lost, social & economy costs, refugees - all for being an ally & suffering constant in a war that was not ours.
