For the second time in a week, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has summoned the US Charge d’Affaires to protest over Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R – CA) and his efforts on Pakistan’s Balochistan Province.
The previous summons was to protest Rohrabacher’s hearings on Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest province, and today’s was to protest Rohrabacher’s subsequent introduction of a bill calling for Balochistan’s independence from Pakistan.
The Foreign Office warned US envoy Richard Hoagland that the resolution was a “violation of international law and the recognized norms of inter-state conduct,” adding that the resolution was of “serious concern.”
Former Pakistan Foreign Secretary Riaz Khokar spoke to Pakistan’s “The News” newspaper today, cautioning the government not to take the resolution lightly, and warning that the government should focus on winning back “alienated people in Balochistan,” saying that the US effort could quickly be replicated across the EU.
Pakistan’s current government does not appear to be taking the situation particularly seriously, beyond summoning Hoagland. Foreign Minister Hina Khar insisted that the resolution was the result of “a few individuals in Washington” trying to create mistrust and would obviously fail.
How did anyone from Baluchistan get enough money to pay for that Californian prostitute to introduce that bill in the first place?? Rohrabacher probably never even heard of Baluchistan before the special interest group approached him…… I bet he would still be unable to locate it on a map.
AIPAC-India lobby desires the destablization of their quixotic adversary. The same Rohrabacher demanded the new Iraqi govt to pack for the US occupation
to pay for the US occupation
The house and senate are all whores, and will gladly bend over to anyone offering them a dollar. 97%of them sit on AIPACS knee. Until the American people clean house we will have mendacious un-American garbage like Lieberman, Grahmm, and Rohrabacher doing what they do best, and doing the worst to the American people, and people of color abroad.
Pakistan summons US envoy. Translated: Karsai wants mo' money.
You do realize, I hope, that Karzai rules (if you want to call it that), Afghanistan, not Pakistan…
I do realize that. My bad. It's just the same sh*t, different dog. Replace Karzai for Zardari (even the names sound similar, I wonder if the US has done that on purpose for ease) and the same applies. In fact, these days, it's easy to write one comment and just replace the name of the country/dictator in chief and it applies just the same.
This act is evil because ɪ̣̝̇ know it is gonna end up in blood been shed. Anything US has hand in surely will result to blood bath, ɪ̣̝̇ hope the people of Balou will not allow US to put them into any mess. America is doing this so they can set up their spy haven in Balou to monitor Iran’s activities and use it to attack Iran. Pakistan said no but let’s see how the game played out!
"…“violation of international law and the recognized norms of inter-state conduct,”…"
Yes, well, since when does Rohrabacher – or any Republican (and some Dems) give a damn about International law and the recognized norms on inter-state conduct? As everyone knows, it's their way or you're with the enemy. I mean, this is the US of A dictating, so, it must be the right way…
