My father's from Pakistan and he has been a secularist all his life. In the Pakistani context, there's no messing with religion.

The real concern is that Iran would do what Pakistan did. Pakistan wanted nuclear weapons, like Iran, purely for defensive reasons - to defend itself against India. The problem was that once Pakistan acquired the weapons, it allowed the country to be more aggressive.

Pakistan always seems to have a lot of political complexities and political challenges. But Pakistan is important for a number of reasons. Primarily, it is a nuclear power.

Al Qaeda is almost all in Pakistan, and Pakistan has nuclear weapons. And yet for every dollar we're spending in Pakistan, we're spending $30 in Afghanistan. Does that make strategic sense?
I would especially like to appeal to my country's media that we should stop looking at everything in India from the prism of Pakistan. India is an independent country.

It has been our biggest shortcoming and mistake that we have been tagging ourselves with another country and trying to do things.
