'US backing for India's UN Security Council seat a diplomatic attack on Pakistan' | Opposition members in the Pakistan National Assembly have described United States' support to India's bid for a
permanent seat on the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) as a 'diplomatic attack' on the country. Leader of the Opposition Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that the
US announced support for India without taking Pakistan into confidence, which
is a major ally of the US in the ongoing war on terror. "Here, the US top leadership,
including Obama and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, appraised Pakistan's
performance in the war against terrorism, while on the other hand the US has been
boosting its strategic affairs with others," the Daily Times quoted Khan, as saying.
"Such a country ( India ) who never owned the UN Security Council over the issue
of Jammu and Kashmir , how can the US support it over a permanent seat in the
UN's supreme institution? Pakistan categorically rejects the US point of view
over certain issue. It is a diplomatic attack over Pakistan by the US ," he added.
Khan further urged the government to convey its reaction to the Obama administration.
"The government should apprise the US that Pakistan disliked Obama's announcement
and it hurts the sentiments of the whole nation," Khan said. The US President
had backed India 's bid for a permanent seat on the UNSC while addressing a joint
session of Parliament during his three-day visit to the country.
