Summary President Asif Ali Zardari has said that if Pakistan and the United States wanted to win the war against terrorism, they will have to overlook the minor political issues.
In an article for a US newspaper, Washington Post, the president wrote that sentiments of Pakistani people should not be hurt because it breeds anti US feeling in the country. Stopping the aid, pledged under the Kerry-Lugar Bill, due to Davis’ trial in Pakistan would be unwise, he wrote.He said that extremists wanted to demage democratic system in Pakistan, whenever they got a chance of politicising issues, similar to Davis case.The president urged the international powers to be patient and trust in Pakistani government’s strategy of uprooting militancy.
