Summary A top Pentagon official has said Pakistan addicted to playing around militant groups against India.
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict Michael Sheehan told lawmakers at a recent Congressional hearing that Pakistan has “an addiction to playing around with militia groups to achieve certain interests, particularly vis-à-vis India,” which “gets them in all kinds of trouble.”Sheehan said the US has been having conversations with Pakistan on this issue, but without much success, and so the US has virtually “given up” trying to change Pakistan’s views on India.“It’s the way they view the world,” said Sheehan, and the US must “understand the way they view the world and try to work through it.”
