LAHORE, Feb 6: PML-N’s Punjab Secretary-General Khwaja Saad Rafiq says President Musharraf’s visit to Russia and Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri visit to the United States have failed to bring desired results.

In a statement here on Thursday, he said President Putin’s demand that the government should go for a crackdown on the Mujahideen was not only regrettable but also amounted to interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan.

He said Gen Musharraf’s offer to Russia for access to warm waters was condemnable. He recalled that hundreds of thousands of Afghan Mujahideen had laid down their lives to deny Russia such an access.

Referring to the ‘proof’ presented by US Secretary of State Colin Powell against Iraq, the PML-N leader said they were based on trick of computer, having nothing to do with facts.

Such superficial allegations, he said, could not be used to hoodwink the international community, Saad said.

He said what the US had placed before the UN Security Council was like an assault on the impartiality and truthfulness of the world body’s weapons inspectors.

The PML-N leader said Britain’s threats that it would attack Iraq even if a UN resolution was vetoed, was very dangerous.
