Obama On Pakistan

Barack Obama has said that he had ruled out involving Pakistan in the raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout because it was an "open secret" that certain elements inside Pakistan's military, and especially its intelligence services, maintained links to the Taliban and perhaps even al-Qaeda, sometimes using them as strategic assets against Afghanistan an...

Several hundred Pakistani university students sit enraptured as Hammad Safi lectures them on the merits of bettering their diction by watching Barack Obama speeches on YouTube.

Afghanistan, Pakistan, and not India were on top of the priority list for the Obama Administration in South Asia, but the India-US relationship under the outgoing president is ending on a "high note", according to a former Indian-American White House official.

US Vice President Joe Biden has singled out Pakistan along with Russia and North Korea and others for making "counterproductive" moves that only heightened the risk that nuclear weapons could be used in a regional conflict.

US President Barack Obama has signed into law the US $618 billion defence budget for 2017, which enhances security cooperation with India and conditions nearly half of the funding to Pakistan on a certification that it is taking demonstrable steps against the Haqqani Network and other terror groups.

The recent comment made by a Pakistani envoy visiting the United States that the outgoing American President Barack Obama is now just a "guest" at the White House is "ridiculous", the US has said.

An online White House petition asking for Pakistan to be declared as a state sponsor of terrorism has crossed 100,000 signatures, thus qualifying to get a response from the Obama administration.

The Action Plan for a Nuclear-Weapons-Free and Nonviolent World Order that Rajiv Gandhi presented to the international community remains, 28 years on, the only detailed roadmap ever prepared by a Head of Government to show how, in phases spread over 22 years, the world could move towards a universal, non-discriminatory and verifiable international ...

The US hopes Pakistan would live up to its word on not allowing terrorist safe havens on its soil, a senior Obama administration official said today after Pakistan Army chief General Raheel Sharif ordered the military to ensure that the territory is not used for terrorism.

Treating the Pathankot attack on par with 26/11, US President Barack Obama in a clear message asked Pakistan to punish the perpetrators and vowed to stand with India against threats emanating from Pakistan-based terror groups like JeM, LeT and D-company.

The US respects Pakistan's sovereignty but will carry out strikes to eliminate terrorists who are targeting its forces, the Obama Administration said on Monday as Islamabad expressed concern over the drone strike by American forces on its territory to kill Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour.

The Obama administration has "recognised" the concerns of lawmakers with regard to sale of eight F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan and those are right now being taken into consideration, a top American diplomat told the US Congress today.

The US should designate Pakistan among nations listed as worst violators of religious freedom due to frequent attacks on minorities including Hindus in the country, an independent US religious commission has recommended to the Obama administration.

The White House has insisted that it is "attuned" to the security concerns of India even as it reiterated US President Barack Obama's views on nuclear and missile developments in South Asia.
