Cameron urges ‘war’ partners to show patience with PakistanLONDON: British Prime Minister David Cameron has urged all international friends and partners of war on terror to show patience and understanding with Pakistan because the country is the biggest victim of terror in the world. He said this in response to a question by Sir Gerald Kaufman, Labour Party parliamentarian in the House of Commons, who asked if Cameron deplored US President Barack Obama’s offensive discourtesy towards the president of Pakistan, the sovereignty of whose country the United States has violated with deadly effect, and whether Cameron could confirm that Britain would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with its Commonwealth partner, Pakistan, in defying American colonialism. Cameron said that Pakistan had complex politics and “it needed to be given the space to resolve some of those issues”. The British PM assured Pakistan that its friends, such as Britain, would not leave it after the Afghan conflict was over, and that Britain was there for long-term partnership, friendship and support. asif mehmood
