‘Appeasement does not work with US’: Shireen Mazari replies Trump allegations against Pakistan
ISLAMABAD (19th November, 2018 ): In response to the United States President Donald Trump allegations and claim that Pakistan “does not do anything for his country [USA]”, Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari took to Twitter to remind the US head of state of the losses incurred by Pakistan over the years.
“The loss of Pakistani lives in US War on Terror, the free space for Raymond Davis and other operatives, the illegal killings by drone attacks — the list is endless,” said Mazari on Monday, adding, “once again history shows appeasement does not work”.
Trump's tirade against Pak & his claim that that Pak does not do "a damn thing" for the US shd be a lesson for those Pak ldrs who kept appeasing the US esp after 9/11! The renditions; the loss of Pak lives in US WoT; the free space for Raymond Davis & other operatives; etc etc

The illegal killings by drone attacks; the list is endless but once again history shows appeasement does not work. Also, whether China or Iran, US policies of containment & isolation do not coincide with Pak strategic interests. https://t.co/tFBe9BentG

Speaking to Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday, Trump alleged that Pakistan does “not do a damn thing” for the United States and accused Islamabad of helping Osama bin Laden hide there.
Mazari called “Trump’s tirade against Pakistan” a lesson for those Pakistani leaders “who kept appeasing the US esp after 9/11!”.
The federal minister added: “Whether China or Iran, US policies of containment and isolation do not coincide with Pakistan’s strategic interests.”
In reply to another tweet calling out Trump over his remarks, Mazari said: “@realDonaldTrump suffers conveniently from perpetual historic amnesia!”
Former foreign minister Khawaja Asif also took note of Trump’s remarks, saying: “We continue to pay in blood for what we did for USA.”
We continue to pay in blood for what we did for USA from Beda Ber to fighting wars wich weren't ours.Reinveted our religion to suit US interests,destroyed our tolerant ethos,replaced it with bigotry & intolerance.A relationship of betrayals & sanctions https://t.co/3mDnJZ6GHu

The Inter-Services Public Relations had clarified earlier that the Coalition Support Fund, received from the US, is reimbursement of money spent for operations in support of the coalition for regional peace.
The Pakistani government and its military heads have always rejected these false allegations of the US Govt. and Donald Trump.
Event former US president Barack Obama, under whose tenure the bin Laden raid was carried out, while speaking at a summit last year had said: “We had no evidence that Pakistan was aware of his presence — that is something that we looked at.”
