Federal Minister for Climate Change, Senator, Sherry Rehman on Wednesday condemned Imran Khan\u2019s statement pertaining to Pakistan-Afghanistan diplomatic relations and terrorism during a seminar on the resurgence of terrorism via video link.<\/p>\n
In a series of tweets, the minister criticised the former prime minister and chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for making irresponsible statements on critical issues of national importance.<\/p>\n
Sherry Rehman said, \u201cAs a former prime minister, Imran Khan is not representing Pakistan but someone else. Imran Khan knows the security issues and history of the region as much as he knows the geography of Germany and Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n
She criticised that the person (Imran Khan) under whose rule Pakistan became a victim of foreign isolation was today exhorting Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on foreign affairs.<\/p>\n
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto\u2019s eight months of diplomatic achievements had no comparison to Imran Khan\u2019s four years of diplomatic isolation, Sherry Rehman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cImran Khan had plunged the country into a diplomatic quagmire,\u201d she added. The PTI chief had claimed that the ill-equipped police could not confront well-equipped terrorists that had automatic weapons to curb terrorism during his speech at the seminar.<\/p>\n
Responding to Khan\u2019s remarks, the minister said, \u201cOur police and other law enforcement agencies are on the frontline against terrorists and are our first line of defence.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that Imran Khan had also insulted the brave police of Pakistan. \u201cIt is a pity that instead of encouraging the police, Imran Khan is discouraging them,\u201d Sherry Rehman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
