RECENT reports in the media have attributed some remarks to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson which should be cause for alarm for Pakistan. Mr Tillerson is reported to have said in passing that Pakistan could lose territory to terrorists.

To anyone interested in world affairs, it seems that Washington is preparing the ground for putting boots in Pakistan in the name of saving our country from the Taliban.

Pakistan needs to take a strong stance on the irresponsible statement.
