ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman, Imran Khan has said that the nuclear weapons of Pakistan are in safe hands. In an interview to a foreign news agency here on Friday, he said that rumour about Pak nuclear programme was a part of the western propaganda. He said that the allegations levelled by US Preident, Donald Trump had injured the feelings of Pakistanis. He said it seems that Donald Trump is unfamiliar with the history of Pakistan. “It seems Trump has no knowledge of this region. He does not know the dynamics of over a decade-old war the US has been fighting in Afghanistan,” he said. He said existence of Taliban in Afghanistan is a reality, adding that it would be injustice to hold Pakistan responsible for US defeat in Afghanistan. He said it was China, instead of Pakistan, that rebutted Trump’s statement by acknowledging the sacrifices the country had rendered in the US-waged war on terror. Imran said Trump had threatened Pakistan in open words and undermined the country’s major contributions towards that war. More than 70,000 Pakistanis lost their lives, thousands got injured, billions of rupees worth of loss was inflicted on Pakistan’s economy, but in the end that was what the country had achieved, he said, referring to the new US strategy.
