PM’s careless statements impacting foreign policy: Shehbaz Sharif
PML-N president regrets Imran Khan’s use of ‘indecent’ language against political rivals
Lahore: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan's “careless” statements were impacting Pakistan's foreign policy.
While speaking outside the court after the hearing, he said that the prime minister was using ‘indecent’ language. “The statements he is making these days are non-serious,” he said, adding he is doing cheap politics.
PML-N president added that such a ‘filthy language’ he is using could not be repeated in front of the people. “Whatever little bit of good image the country had in the eyes of the outside world has now been spoiled,” he opined.
He went on to say that the prime minister’s ‘irresponsible’ utterances on foreign policy matters would also have a negative impact on the Kashmir issue.
Speaking on the occasion, Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly and Shehbaz’s son, Hamza Shehbaz said that the repeated use of the words like ‘Chaur aur daku’ had now started getting on nerves.
Referring to PM Imran’s speech at Mailsi in which he had censured the European Union for asking him to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Hamza wondered was this the way the countries’ foreign policies were shaped. “Imran Niazi gave the statement at such an inopportune time that even Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin had to disagree with that,” he added.
Imran Khan should gag himself by tapping his month, Hamza concluded.
