US warns Pakistan of ‘multiple repercussions’
​

Islamabad: The US has now threatened Pakistan with ‘multiple repercussions’, if the six-month-long blockade of NATO supplies is not lifted, Pakistani officials have said.

According to sources, the implications include a halt in US assistance for the country’s fragile economy and squeezing the political space available to the ruling Pakistan People’s Party by relying on other political groups.

“During the meetings Marc Grossman recently had with Pakistani officials, it was obvious that the US was running out of patience,” a Pakistani official told The Express Tribune.

“A message has been conveyed at the highest level that if the government cannot take a decision regarding NATO supplies, the US will rely on Nawaz Sharif,” he added. His claim, however, could not be independently verified.

The official added that the Obama administration was increasingly concerned over the delay in the reopening of the vital NATO supply routes for foreign forces stationed in Afghanistan.

Last month, the country’s Parliament announced new terms of engagement that seek an unconditional apology from the US over the Salala incident.

Initially, Washington agreed to accept the demand but due to a delay in the passage of the new recommendations, coupled with domestic compulsions of President Barack Obama, the US is now reluctant to take such a step.

A PPP lawmaker acknowledged that the government was in a fix on how to move forward after the US hardened its stance.

“There is now a growing realisation that it was a mistake to ask the Parliament to formulate new foreign policy guidelines,” said the lawmaker.

Pakistan Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar also hinted at mounting pressure on the government to reopen the supply routes. He said Pakistan could face economic sanctions if it did not unplug the routes.

The US embassy, however, denied Washington conveying any threats to Islamabad.

“The UN wants NATO supplies to reopen, the US wants NATO supplies to reopen, but that should not be characterised as a threat,” said the embassy spokesperson.

Their own arrogance and lack of diplomacy has complicated the matter..If they had issued an apology on salala incident,none of this had happened...
Now this is the people of Pakistan en mass who are standing in the way of opening the supply route and no matter what dire warning the USA issues,GOP is now powerless in this regard.,

We gave warning to Nehru for his foward policy, india didn't listen, then we proceeded to give them an a$$ whipping India will never forget. To this day it still stings them. They were humiliated, mauled, slaughtered, absolutely murdered into shreds.
They are living with the shock and humiliation to this day, they are having nightmares over it, even their Agvi V IRBM is aimed at china due to their total embarrassment in the 1962 war. I believe we permanently damaged the Indian psyche in 1962.

Prior to the 1962 war, we gave multiple warnings, and India thought we were bluffing, we shredded them into bits and they have never been the same since, always living in paranoid fear. That's how you own an entire country.

And after such a humongus win and loosing few of your soilders, you ran away without taking the trophy(south tibbet).. hmmm must be suffering from loose motion.

Yes tried another 1962 in nathu la in 1967 and in 1984,were whipped back with heavy losses.

1967 we kicked your a$$, 1984 we kicked your a$$.
Those were tiny skirmishes, even though we won them, they are nothing compared to the all out war of 1962.

India has never ever defeated china at anything.
