LAHORE: National Security Advisor (NSA) to the Prime Minister (PM) Lieutenant General (Retired) Nasser Khan Janjua has said that the United States of America is following Indian policy on the longstanding Kashmir dispute.

While addressing a seminar on issues of national security in Islamabad on Monday, Janjua said that despite Pakistan playing a vital role in the war against terrorism, the world has still not respected it.

He said that Pakistan has defeated its enemies and the insurgents in sensitive parts of the country are laying down their weapons and chanting ‘Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan’ (Long live Pakistan).

“The overall security situation in Karachi has improved considerably, while conditions in Balochistan are also moving in a positive direction. Not only are the people of Balochistan laying down their arms, but they are chanting ‘Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan’ as well,” the former general said.

Lt Gen (retd) Janjua said that India is threatening Pakistan with a conventional war.

“Taliban are getting stronger in Afghanistan, and Pakistan has faced heavy human and economic loss in its war against terrorism but the US is blaming Pakistan for its own failure in Afghanistan,” the adviser remarked.

He said that terrorism in Pakistan emerged after the country decided to support the US and the West.

“Security in South Asia is under pressure,” he said.
