Islamabad, Dec 13 (ANI): Pakistan's move of blocking NATO supplies to Afghanistan and the statement by an unnamed army official regarding the shooting down of drones have raised concerns that such acts could isolate Islamabad globally, a Daily Times editorial has said.
It further said that these claims are pressure tactics employed by the Pakistan government to get NATO to concede to the new terms of engagement.
The new terms of engagement might be presented in the 'interests of the country's sovereignty', but it somehow might prove to be beneficial for militants like the Afghan Taliban to escape attacks, it added.
It could also lead the country to pursue its proxy war in Afghanistan without any fear of interference.
However, the editorial claims that the repercussions of this would be grave not only for Afghanistan and the region, but devastating for Pakistan as well because it might lead the country to global isolation. (ANI)
