A Foreign Office spokesman has termed the wiki leaks reports as baseless. He said `These are baseless reports and that the world knew well about the services and sacrifices given by people and army of Pakistan in war against terrorism`.
The reports claim that the Pakistani premier intelligence agency the ISI has links with the Taliban. It also accuses it of providing support to organize against the NATO forces in Afghanistan. Wiki leaks, an on-line whistle blower published a record of 92,000 secret documents on the Afghan war dating from 2004 to 2009.
The foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit said `Wikileaks report is nowhere near the truth and with this report nothing new has come forward and in fact shows that writers of such reports have no understanding of the issue`.
The White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has called the leak of thousands of Afghan war documents a breach of law that `has the potential to be very harmful`.
US lawmakers have defended Pakistan’s role in the war on terror.
Congressman Ike Skelton, the Democratic chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said `while we still have concerns about Pakistan’s efforts against the Afghan Taliban, there is no doubt that there have been significant improvements in its overall efforts`.
This is not the first time that Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency the ISI has been accused of its links with the Taliban. The leaks are considered as following the footsteps of the London School of Economics.
But the question raised in Pakistan is this; we have to get something in return for our efforts and sacrifices in the war on terror which have been second to none.
