KARACHI, March 14: The Pakistan People’s Party on Tuesday maintained that the regime’s foreign policy was a total failure and was a reflection of its flawed domestic policy.   This was stated by secretary general of the PPP Sindh chapter Nafees Siddiqui at a news conference.

He was the view that the country was suffering a lot due to policies of the incumbent government.   Nafees Siddiqui said that the rulers had attached great expectations with the visit of American President George W. Bush but their hopes proved futile.

He said that if America wanted free, fair and transparent general elections in Pakistan, these were possible only under a caretaker government and independent and autonomous Election Commission and the administrative machinery should also fall under that Election Commission.

He said that transparent elections were not possible under General Pervez Musharraf.

Nafees Siddiqui said that General Pervez Musharraf was the only beneficiary after 9/11 as the American had attached itself with a single individual and not with the masses of the country.

He said that the US President Bush during his visit to this region had agreed to transfer to India civil nuclear technology which would bring huge economic changes and open up new vistas of science and technology and employment in that country.

He said that Pakistan was a front-line ally of the US in the war on terrorism and against Taliban but now the statements emanating from Afghanistan spoke volumes of the failed foreign policy of the Musharraf regime.

About closure of NAB inquiry into sugar crisis, Nafees Siddiqui termed the NAB a political tool of the regime used for political victimization and to suppress the political opponents and demanded that NAB should wound up.
