Eminent defense analysts have described the US decision of suspending security assistance to Pakistan as counterproductive and a measure to put pressure on Pakistan.

Speaking in News and Current Affairs channel of Radio Pakistan, senior defence analyst Dr. Muhammad Khan said Pakistan will never compromise on its sovereignty, integrity and respect.

Defence analyst retired brigadier Tipu Sultan said we have to stand firm against the threats the USA is posing to Pakistan. He said the USA cannot win its war in Afghanistan without Pakistan's help.

Defence analyst Dr. Khurram Iqbal said disturbing the bilateral relations will not harm Pakistan only but the USA will also have to face it.

Senator retired Lieutenant General Abdul Qayyum said the US still has to reimburse Pakistan under Coalition Support Fund.

He said the parliament is being consulted on the matter and joint session of both the houses may also meet soon.

Senior analyst on international relations Huma Baqai said most of the international relations analysts are agreed that for achieving peace and stability in the region, Pakistan cannot be ignored.

She said Pakistan's relations with the US were never smooth in the past and the US behavior changes towards Pakistan according to its needs.

She said Pakistan sincerely wants peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Senior IR analyst Dr. Fauzia Nasreen said it takes courage for a state to take responsibility of its policy failures. She added that contrary to the principles governing inter-state relations, the US is unjustly blaming Pakistan for its failed policies in Afghanistan for last six to seven years.

She said the US which claims itself a superpower, cannot handle the Haqqani network alone and does not want to cooperate with Pakistan either.

She pointed out that the US is exploiting its strategic partner India for its wider objective of containment of China.
