Even as the US continues to blast Pakistan for  its 'double game' on terrorism, Pervez Musharraf has conceded that Islamabad has no respect, internationally.

In an interview to a Pakistani TV news channel, the former President of Pakistan also said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was dominating Pakistan and that Islamabad's foreign policy was flawed.

'You tell me, does Pakistan have any respect, internationally? Our international diplomacy is flawed. Modi is dominating us, we are isolated internationally. Why have we admitted that Lashkar-e-Taiba is a terror group,' General (Retd) Musharraf said.

He also admitted that Lashkar-e-Toiba was active in Kashmir and that he was biggest supporter of Lashkar and Hafiz Saeed's Jamat-ud-Dawah.

Meanwhile, Washington has been talking tough ever since US President Donald Trump's 'no more' tweet.

On New Year's day, Trump had tweeted that that America had been rewarded with "nothing but lies and deceit" by Pakistan in return for its over $33 billion aid in the last 15 years.

US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley came out in support of Trump's decision to block aid to Pakistan and said, "There are clear reasons for this. Pakistan has played a double game for years."

"They (Pakistanis) work with us at times, and they also harbour the terrorists that attack our troops in Afghanistan.

That game is not acceptable to this administration," Haley told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York yesterday.

The Trump administration expects far more cooperation from Pakistan in the fight against terrorism, she said.
