“If we had not joined the war against Soviet Union and later on the war after 9/11, then Pakistan’s track record was unimpeachable,” he added.
The Pakistan Defence Minister also lashed at US for blaming it for terror activities saying, “It is convenient for big powers to blame Pakistan that fought with them against earstwhile Soviet Union in the 1980s. All these terrorists of today were whining and dining in Washington,” the report said quoting Khwaja Asif.
