Pakistan's powerful military chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani [ Images ] is "manipulating" the government and parliament to prevent them from changing their policy on restive Pak-Afghan border, a top French official believes.

According to a secret United States diplomatic cable dated dated January 22, 2010 disclosed by whistle-blower website WikiLeaks and published in the Dawn newspaper, head of the French government's inter-agency Afghanistan-Pakistan cell Jasmine Zernini told American officials that although Kayani had "learned the lesson of Musharraf" and was staying behind the scenes.


But, she felt he was manipulating the government and parliament, including to prevent change on Pakistan's policy towards the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border, and also to stir up controversy regarding the Kerry-Lugar bill."

In the same cable, Mariot Leslie, the director general, defence and intelligence of the foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British government expressed satisfaction that China had "dumped" Pakistan in the Conference on Disarmament which in her opinion was a "good sign." The dismissive attitude towards Pakistan is, however, not limited to Western governments.

Yes, if it ends he will not have control of the Pakistani Affairs, as their Arm's importance diminishes, drastically.
