Pak facing internal and external crisis, says senior journalist

Lahore, Oct. 24 (ANI): For the first time in history, Pakistan is facing diplomatic and domestic challenges at the same time, with deteriorating bilateral relations with the US, Iran and India and dismal security situation within the country, a senior Pakistani journalist has said.

A private TV channel quoted Daily Times Editor-in-Chief Najam Sethi, as saying that Pakistan's situation would further deteriorate if President Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif fail to pull the country out of its current crises by putting their political differences aside.

He added that Sharif is well aware of the fact that the Kerry-Lugar legislation is not harmful for Pakistan's sovereignty and security. (ANI)
