LAHORE: Former American ambassador to Pakistan William B Milam has said that Nawaz Sharif “failed” to effectively fight terrorism during his second tenure as prime minister, while Pervez Musharraf’s government was “reluctant and unwilling” to root out terrorism.
In an appearance on Daily Times Editor-in-Chief Najam Sethi’s programme ‘Tonight with Najam Sethi’ – aired on Dunaya TV on Friday – the former ambassador said the Kargil war was “a foolish move” that disrupted peace dialogue with India.
Replying to a question, Milam said although Musharraf came to power through unconstitutional means, he was sincere in his efforts to resolve Pakistan’s issues.
Milam said Pakistan was not a failed state, but was facing “national identity problems”. He said former US president Bill Clinton pressured Musharraf to provide a roadmap for returning to a democratic set-up and sign CTBT.
