NEW YORK — Pakistan’s former Ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani said that his life is threatened in Pakistan and his return is likely only after the eradication of radicalism from his home country, according to a report published in the Dawn News.

While giving an interview to a news channel in the US, the former envoy rejected the option of facing the memo commission saying that his life was at risk in Pakistan. Answering another question he said that Pakistan had serious reservations concerning Afghanistan’s future and the United States’ lack of confidence in Pakistan is uncalled for.

Haqqani added that in order to solve the problems faced, the US would have to understand the sentiments of the people of Pakistan and both the countries would have to resolve their conflicting issues. — Agencies
