SUKKUR: Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah on Tuesday weighed in on Pakistan’s foreign policy and remarked that it failed to make an impact.
Shah, who was speaking to media in Sukkur, said that Pakistan has been fighting terrorists from the start, yet it is being called a ‘terrorist’ state.
“Now, the failure of foreign policies has come to the forefront,” said Shah while claiming that the PPP has stated repeatedly that there was a desperate need for a foreign minister in the PML-N government.
Speaking about former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Shah said that Nawaz had earlier said he will accept the verdict of the court. However, now Nawaz is backtracking from his statement, he added,
Shah claimed that the PPP has worked tremendously to improve the lives of people in Sindh. “People’s incomes witnessed a 125 per cent increase under the PPP government,” said the leader of the opposition.
On Sunday, Shah had said that Pakistan has paid a heavy price in the war against terrorism while addressing an Eid gathering in Sukkur.
“Pakistan has been fighting terrorism from the start. We need to remind the world regarding Pakistan’s sacrifices in the war against terrorism,” remarked the PPP leader.
About 20,000 soldiers and 60,000 civilians have lost their lives in the fight against terrorism, he pointed out.
“We need to think why the United States is always threatening Pakistan,” he claimed.
