LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has hit out atIndian PM Narendra Modi over his attitude towards Pakistan.
He expressed dim hopes for breaking of ice between neighbours Pakistan andIndia, blaming Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the deadlock inrelations between the South Asian neighbours.
Speaking to reporters in Lahore earlier today, Khan lamented that theIndian premier’s mindset does not allow for negotiations between the twocountries.
“Modi’s mindset does not allow for [the negotiations]. I had told Modi[once], no matter what happens the door for negotiations between India andPakistan must never close,” he said.
Khan’s comments come after a historic meeting between the leaders of Northand South Korea on Friday, where they pledged to bring a formal end to theKorean War, 65 years after hostilities ceased.
The thawing of ice between North and South Korea has prompted many inPakistan and India to feel that the leaders of the two countries shouldtake cue from Korea and move forward from their differences.
Commenting on the general elections 2018, Imran Khan said the [real]contest would be between his party and the ruling Pakistan MuslimLeague-Nawaz (PML-N).
The PTI chief lashed out at PML-N president and Punjab chief ministerShehbaz Sharif, terming him the “leader of a corrupt group”.
