Shahbaz slams Qureshi's remarks about OIC

08 Aug, 2020

LAHORE: Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif has criticised Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi over his remarks about the Saudi Arabia-led Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and termed it 'highly unfortunate and irresponsible.' In a tweet, Shahbaz said: "Qureshi's statement about brotherly Saudi Arabia is highly unfortunate and irresponsible. It flies in the face of history of our special and trusted relationship with the kingdom; the cavalier attitude by this government is undermining Pakistan's core relations with friendly countries!"

In another tweet, Shahbaz said the PTI govt's policy on occupied Kashmir lacked 'direction and substance.'

"There is a need for a serious and candid review of its performance in this most vital area. Why has the government failed to present its case effectively to the international community," Shahbaz questioned.
