Pak minister says US, NATO are open enemies of the country

Lahore, Apr 15 (ANI): Pakistan's Minister of Science and Technology Azam Khan Swati has said that the Government should not help NATO and the US against the Taliban, as both parties are open enemies of the country.

Addressing workers of the Federal of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) zonal office, he said: "They are not our friends and wanted to make India the leading power of the region."

It is the duty of the President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to resist efforts to help them at all costs, he added.

Swati said the US might go after Pakistan's missile and nuclear technology, as it had been unwilling to give any leeway to Iran's "peaceful use" of atomic technology.

He said his ministry would focus on technology imported from China to deal with every situation. (ANI)
