ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet on Thursday unanimously endorsed the stance of the National Security Committee (NSC), which in its Tuesday?s meeting articulated deep disappointment over the recent statements of the American leadership. The cabinet viewed that the US statements are detrimental to the bilateral relationship.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi chaired the meeting that was held at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif briefed the cabinet regarding the background of the recent statements of the US leadership and the discussion held during the NSC of the cabinet held a day earlier.

He explained that the Foreign Office immediately summoned the US ambassador in Pakistan for lodging a protest on the tweet. Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua conveyed the sentiments of the government and the people of Pakistan to the US envoy in unambiguous terms.

The cabinet viewed that Pakistan had rendered huge sacrifices, both in terms of loss of precious human lives and substantial damage to the economy as a result of partnering in the global war against terrorism. Achievements made by Pakistan in curbing the menaceof terrorism have been acknowledged throughout the world, reiterated the cabinet.

The cabinet considered a proposal for granting an extension in the Proof of Registration (POR) Cards and Tripartite Agreement (Pakistan-Afghanistan-UNHCR) for Afghan Refugees beyond 31st December, 2017. After a detailed discussion, the cabinet agreed to grant only 30-day extension for the POR and also decided that the issue of early repatriation of Afghan refugees shall be raised with UNHCR and with the international community.

Pakistan?s economy has carried the burden of hosting the Afghan refugees since long and in the present circumstances cannot sustain it further, emphasized the cabinet. The federal cabinet accorded an approval for publication of Block Level Provisional results of Census 2017.

The sources told The News that members of the federal cabinet discussed the prevailing political situation in the country at great length. The developments in Balochistan also figured conspicuously as efforts are underway to dislodge the ruling PML-N government under Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri. Federal Minister General Abdul Qadir Baloch, who belongs to Balochistan, briefed the members about the move against the incumbent chief minister. The JUI-F members of the cabinet were of the view that the no-trust move against the chief minister will succeed and it will not harm the government politically.
