Islamabad, Pakistan: Defence Minister Kh Asif while addressing in National Assembly on Friday blasted the United States over accusing Pakistan of harboring terrorism while ignoring human rights abuses and even lynching of non-Hindus in India.

Addressing National Assembly after the US released the “Joint Statement from the United States and India” that blamed Pakistan for investing in terrorism and harboring terrorists in Pakistan, Kh Asif was of the view that Pakistan ruined its society in the love for the United States in 75 years history of the country, particularly in supporting US policies in Afghan Jihad that brought terrorism, intolerance, religious and sectarian extremism, drugs and weapon culture in Pakistan but US had never appreciated our sacrifices and our blind following of US policies and whenever it has the opportunity, it (USA) harmed Pakistan to please India.
