Amid Islamabad's growing apprehension over foreign policies of Trump administration, which  assumes power on Friday,  a Pakistani immigrant and supporter of President-elect Donald Trump has said that US has no plans to “unfriend” Pakistan but its relations with India will be even closer than those of the Obama administration.

"I am a committed American and a committed Pakistani and want to do something to improve US-Pakistan relations,” Pakistan's Dawn quoted Sajid Tarar as saying

Tarar, who is also  founder of American Muslims for Trump, noted that most Muslims in America, including Pakistanis, voted for Mr Trump’s rival in the election. 

“That’s their democratic right but they should now accept the fact that Mr Trump is the president,” said Mr Tarar who spoke at the Republican National Convention in July and prayed for Mr Trump’s victory.

Tara will also address the prayer breakfast for the new president. The ceremony will be held at Washington’s National Cathedral on Jan 21, a day after Mr Trump takes oath as the 45th president of the United States.

“I chose the first Surah of the holy Quran because it is the beginning of a new presidency, and I hope and pray that the next four years bring peace and prosperity to all,” Pakistan's Dawn quoted Mr Tarar as saying.
