Cameron's India comments hit Pak flood aid: Pak envoy
UK-PAK
London, Aug 12 (PTI) Prime Minister David Cameron's
warning to Pakistan that it should stop "export of terror" to
India and Afghanistan has adversely affected efforts to raise
funds for flood relief, a senior Pakistani diplomat has said.
Pakistan's ambassador to the United Nations Abdullah
Hussain Haroon told BBC's Radio 4 that Cameron's comments had
allegedly added to Pakistan's suffering amidst unprecedented
floods in the country.
The comments on Pakistan by Cameron during his
recent visit to India sparked a diplomatic furore between the
two countries.
The row was sought to be settled during Pakistan
President Asif Ali Zardari's recent visit to the UK, when both
leaders said ties between the two countries were
'unbreakable'.
Asked if disputes such as the one sparked by
Cameron's comments had caused Pakistan to suffer, Haroon said:
"Yes, indeed Pakistan has suffered because of what Mr Cameron
has said, because the British people will listen to their
prime minister."
According to him, a negative perception of Pakistan
could be preventing the public from giving more aid.
Haroon said: "The world has been slow. It could be
because of donor fatigue in terms of what's happening around
the world, but also I don't think the international press,
until now, has portrayed what is happening."
Warning of a risk that the Taliban could flourish
in areas where they had previously been defeated by the
Pakistani army, he said: "The Taliban has been flushed out and
are now running back to these areas and trying to reinvest
themselves into them."
"There is going to be a fight over who helps who at
this grievous time, and if the international community does
not take this as its responsibility, I'm afraid there will be
repercussions much beyond what is happening just now," he told
the BBC. PTI PS
