Why we are supposed to condemn the European issues&#8230; don\u2019t put us in a position where we have to take sides&#8230; allow us the luxury to stay neutral,\u201d he remarked. People belonging to various walks of life including PTI leaders and journalist heaped praise on Imran for taking a principled stance on the Kashmir dispute. \u201cThis is how a leader who believes in his nation\u2019s sovereignty replies to an agenda-driven Western news anchor for DW. No dithering or defensive or whimpering approach but clarity of thought &#038; expression,\u201d said former human rights minister Shireen Mazari on her official Twitter handle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has earned widespread praise for highlighting the human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) despite being interrupted several times by DW\u2019s anchorperson Richard Walker.
