| Pakistan reacts coolly to US President Obama’s warning that it would be held accountable for the security in the border regions of Afghanistan and that its performance in the fight against terrorism would be linked to the financial aid to them.
Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman Tariq Majid asked the new American administration to tone down the rhetoric.
General Majid said that “Pakistan need not prove its sincerity to foreign powers and such unhelpful statements must stop”. He added that it is ‘repetitive rhetoric by external force’
Earlier, "(President Barack) Obama and (Vice President Joe) Biden will increase non-military aid to Pakistan and hold them accountable for security in the border region with Afghanistan," the White House said in its foreign policy agenda document released soon after Obama occupied the Oval office.
Biden, a known expert on Afghanistan and Pakistan, then in the capacity as the Chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had introduced legislation in the US Senate in this regard
