LONDON: In a time when both countries are trying to mend their relations, Pakistan's top envoy said here some factions in the U.S. still prefer to work with "one man" instead of a democratic government, and accused Washington of "speaking in miles" when it comes to democracy, but "movement in inches."
The statements were made by the Pakistan High Commissioner, the UK, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, who was "very hard on what he sees as the limited U.S. commitment to democracy in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
They speak of miles in support of democracy, but they move in inches. They say: 'We fully democracy, we want democracy, we support the Arab spring, we oppose military interference in Egypt.
"All these things are very good. They are music to my ears. But when it comes to real politics are different. [U.S. Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton has actually supported democracy. But she is a person . There are so many pillars of power in the United States, and act differently, "Hasan said in an interview with London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
Also,implies that they are those in the U.S. government still rather be dealing with a dictator," the report said.The United States if you look at the history of Pakistan 65 years has always preferred to deal with a man rather than with institutions.
