 Rejecting US President Donald Trump’s remarks that Islamabad harbours terrorists safe havens, Pakistan on Thursday warned that making it a scapegoat would not help maintain stability in war-torn Afghanistan.

After a marathon five-hour long meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC), Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the US stance on Pakistan is a “serious matter.”

The top civil and military leadership cautioned the US against making Pakistan a scapegoat and said it would not help maintain stability in Afghanistan.
