Mission of pro-Indian official seen with scepticism
Purposeless remarks to undermine bilateral relations 

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Friday termed the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton a futile attempt to soothe the feelings of people of Pakistan and remove what they call misconceptions.
Her blunt remarks about presence of al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan are a blow to bilateral relations.
The visit and promises of a US official known for her pro-Indian inclination is seen with suspicion and people are wondering about her hidden agenda.
“Threat is the preferred tactic employed by Americans in their relations with other countries,” said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW. Its intensity increases if the country in question is dependent of their aid.
Why can empty words help them reverse public opinion when drones kill Pakistanis on daily basis? Now they are frequently accused for promoting terror in Pakistan.
On one hand, they are taking about scaling down troops in Afghanistan and initiating dialogue while on the other Blackwater has rented around thousand houses in different major cities and employed hundreds of people to carryout operations, he said.
Blackwater now known as Xe Services LLC is paying 3 to 4 time more monthly rent to owners of houses in posh localities with five years of advance payment that speaks volumes about their plans to stay here.
Also, their private military company is paying unbelievable salaries to locally hired staff that ranges from driver and guards to top retired officials, he said.
He said that US is also in process in establishing a cantonment in Islamabad spread over 18 acres on the pretext of an embassy.
US diplomats are openly violating law of the land and Vienna Convention but they are never tried which has also contributed to anti American feelings.
People are aware of these facts therefore they doubt every US move, including the infamous Kerry Lugar act, he said.
Pakistan is loosing everything in war against terror but MS Clinton is still in love with India while least bothered about redressing our serious concerns.
Majority of sensible citizens would continue to mentally reject US plans as far as they believe that the sole super power is out to sabotage security and integrity of Pakistan.
US government should do something concrete to bridge growing divide with masses, opposition, media and intelligentsia in Pakistan, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal adding that mere public relations effort wouldn’t pay dividends.
