ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan lambasted European Union ambassadors for writing a letter over the Russia-Ukraine war and urging Islamabad to vote against Kremlin at the UN General Assembly session.
Addressing a public rally in Vehari, the premier said European Union envoys urged Islamabad to support a resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine after the country abstained from an earlier vote on the crisis. I ask EU ambassadors did you write that letter to India as well?” Khan quipped.
PM asked the western countries if they isolate India when the country ended the autonomous status of Kashmir in August 2019, violating UN Security Council resolution.
Khan again lamented for siding with the West in the war on terror. He reiterated that the move left 80,000 Pakistanis dead, while nearly 3.5 million went homeless. Why Pakistan should side with the Western bloc over Ukraine, he asked questioning if the South Asian country was a ‘Western slave’.
He said Washington continued to bomb our territory as PPP and PML-N leaders stashed money plundered from Pakistan in Western banks and they feared that opposing the West would lead to forfeiture of their money.
Khan warned if the west tried to launch a drone attack, his government would order the Air Force to shoot down the drone.
Pakistan won t take sides at UN General Assembly session on Russia-Ukraine conflict
The premier’s response comes days after envoys from EU member states, as well as Britain, Canada, Japan, Norway, and Switzerland urged Pakistan to join us in condemning Russia’s actions and to voice support for upholding the UN charter.
