Khurshid Shah seeks APC over foreign policy

21 Jul, 2015

Opposition Leader in National Assembly Syed Khurshid Shah on Sunday said he had demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to summon an All Parties Conference (APC) to formulate new foreign policy of the country. Talking to media after attending Eid reception by Islamic Ideology Council member Mufti Ibrahim at a local seminary, Shah said the country needed a new foreign policy at that time, adding Pakistan should benefit from Iran's nuclear deal with western countries to its fullest. He said Pakistan should improve relations with its neighbours.
Shah said the government was hesitant from entering into any agreement with Iran before but, adding, that hesitation should now end. Speaking against the likelihood of Martial Law in Sindh, he said Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain himself invited the army for operation because he didn't trust the police. The opposition leader also criticised PTI chief Imran Khan by saying Khan didn't threaten anyone and that Khan was in fact a threat for his own party.
