THIS refers to baseless allegations by the US on China Pakistan Economic Corridor and its transparency. The American administration has come closer to Pakistan and I smell a rat.

American friendship has not been reliable for Pakistan. It has proved a fair weather friend, for it leaves us in the lurch after achieving its goals.

Pakistan was used during the Pervez Musharraf government in the so-called war on terror. Later, Pakistan was blamed for supporting terrorists and Pakistani citizens suffered a lot.

Pakistan should not accept any American deal at the cost of our all-weather friend, China.
