    Bilawal reminds Imran of the similar US-India statement issued during his time as PM

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday, took to twitter to blame the present government for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and United States (US) President Joe Biden’s joint statement that asked Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism.

    “Gen Bajwa along with his PDM cronies claimed that I had isolated Pakistan internationally. The question we want to ask him and PDM is that after a year in government and countless trips of Pakistan’s FM to the US, the joint India/US statement reduces Pakistan to a promoter of cross-border terrorism in India and nothing more. No balancing statement about the gross human rights abuse in Kashmir or the appalling treatment of minorities (esp Muslims) in India. So now the imported govt experiment has not just made Pakistan irrelevant internationally but our democracy, rule of law and the entire economic and institutional structure is also collapsing right in front of our eyes,” wrote Imran while sharing the screenshot of the statement.

    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, in response to Imran Khan’s tweet, shared a screenshot of a US-India joint statement released after the Modi-Trump meeting of 2020, during Imran Khan’s tenure as Prime Minister. The statement issued during Imran Khan’s government and the statement issued this week have identical wording.

    Bilawal added a playful emoji in his tweet.

  • Bilawal condemns attack on IK, demands ‘free, fair investigation’

    Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari while talking to Christiane Amanpour on the sidelines of the COP27 summit, condemned the assassination attempt on former prime minister Imran Khan.

    “I would like to reiterate my unequivocal condemnation of this attack. There must be a free, fair and impartial investigation. Whatever one thinks of Mr Khan domestically, but this is an attack on a former Prime Minister, an attack on anyone should be investigated in an impartial manner,” he said while talking to Amanpour.

    PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry responded in a tweet, terming Bilawal’s statement as “mature.” He further demanded that the PPP chairperson should authorise release of PTI workers arrested by the Sindh government asking for impartial investigation.

    Last month, Bilawal faced questions about his marriage during his United Nations General Assembly visit.

    In a clip doing rounds on social media, a journalist of a foreign publication was heard asking Bilawal, ‘There are my Pakistani friends asking if you have any plans to marry.’

    Bhutto scion, who was seen in a jovial mood, answered the most-asked question. ‘Of course, I have plans to marry, he said hurriedly without delving into more details’.

    When the journalist asked about the exact time, PPP Chairman moved away, saying ‘I’m in rush’.
