THE TELEGRAPH: David Cameron is trying to make Pakistan a scapegoat for the failure of the war in Afghanistan, former cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has said.
During a trip to India, the Prime Minister accused the country of promoting the "export of terror" in Afghanistan and around the world.
Mr Khan compared the treatment of Pakistan with that of Cambodia during the Vietnam war.
"There is obviously a lot of anger in Pakistan at David Cameron's statement because here people feel this country is the biggest sufferer of terrorism," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"We are being blamed for the complete failure of the Afghanistan campaign, this doomed campaign. Pakistan has become the scapegoat. Pakistan has become what Cambodia was in the Vietnam War.
"The failure in Vietnam was blamed on Cambodia and Cambodia was destroyed by the bombing. Today Pakistan is being bombed by its ally, the US... killing mostly innocent people." >>> Rosa Prince, Political Correspondent, in Bangalore and Rob Crilly in Islamabad | Friday, July 30, 2010
